I have an 86 K10 with a reverse light problem. My reverse lights only work when holding the shifter between Reverse and Park. I read a couple forums about adjusting the neutral switch, but I am still having problems. When I started adjusting the switch, the adjustment was almost all the way counterclockwise. I can adjust the switch a couple clicks in Reverse and I can shift from every gear to Reverse and the lights work correctly, but as soon as I shift into Park the adjustment resets. I've adjust the switch in small increments from almost all the way counterclockwise to almost all the way clockwise and the switch seems to auto adjust when I place the transmission back in park. I've also never had any issues with starting the truck in Park or Neutral even though I've went through 90% of the switch adjustment. The ratcheting mechanism is strong on the switch, so I would be surprised if it is moving when I shift into Park. Does anyone have any insight into this? Should I replace the switch and if so anyone have any tips on removing the clip in style switch without creating a nightmare?
