Back-up Lights not coming on - 11/12/2007 9:46:20 AM    geoffb123   Posts: 300 Joined: 11/11/2007 Status: offline Hey guys, Here's whats goin on. When I put the truck in reverse, the back-up lights don't come on. They used to before, but i'd really have to wiggle the shifter and pull it down almost to the point where im in "N". Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem, or where exactly to start at? I have a 98 Dodge Dakota Sport 2wd 5.2L V8 Automatic Thanks Post #: 1
