AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Experience
Past/Present clients Too many to list but they run from Europe through America and to Australia.
Question Once in a while my backup lights will briefly turn on when I put the car in reverse so I know the light/bulbs are good., otherwise I have no backup lights. Is this generally a function of the neutral switch?
Thanks!

Answer David,
Thank you for your question. Please remember I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech. This is the person you should be asking but as long as we are here, I'll give you my thoughts.
Yes, you are correct, usually. You do not give me a Year, Make or Model of vehicle. This is VERY important information when requesting assistance for your vehicle. My opinion is totally speculation without knowing what we are working on, Okay??
You say the lights come on. That tells us the lights AND the switch are both working. Wouldn't you agree? The switch is good since the lights come on and the lights are good since they come on. What is left? Linkage adjustment is all that is left. Look at the linkage going to the switch. Shorten it and test. Lengthen it and test. The problem has to be in the linkage. Everything else works.
I hope this gives you some direction. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you an exact fix but I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech. Good luck and hope you get the problem fixed.
