This just started to happen with in the past couple of weeks. I put the vehicle in reverse only not to see the reverse lights go on. I checked bulbs and wiring and that is perfectly fine. Could this issue be related to the PNP switch on the Transmission Housing? I've also notice that sometimes the car will not start in the park position, but instead in the nuetral position. Again is this the PNP Switch giving out. Also noticed that the automatic is shifting at differing points now and is not running effecient at all. Is this also related to the PNP Switch?
Now, I have an extra PNP Switch that was new about 1000 miles ago from my old transmission, but when the transmission house took the unit off they kind of messed up the black plastic end of it. Does anyone know were I could get another good black plastic end and replace the damaged one?
Thanks.
Also, does anyone have step by step instructions on how to replace the PNP Switch with Pictures? How long does it take to do this kind of work?
Thanks.
