Jeep Cherokee Back Up Lights

Q. The back up lights will not come on when you first start up in the morning. I have checked bulbs and they are good. When I hit the side of the shifter they will come on sometimes, but the longer I drive it they will start to work more often. I don't think that it could be the Neutral safety switch because it starts in P and in N. Where do I start to look?

  • 1993 Jeep Cherokee 4X4
  • 4.0 liter
  • Automatic transmission
  • 174,000 miles

Thanks,
Don

A. It could very well be the Neutral Safety Switch (NSS). The back up light switch is part of the NSS and is a separate function from the other functions of the NSS.
