so im having a bit of trouble with this problem. when the dimmer switch is on in park the lights work and they don't work in reverse. I have an auto turbo 350.
when I wiggle the gear selector they go off...and then come back on.
is there a switch or wire I can trace to lead me to what could be causing this?

At the bottom of the column...there is a curved white switch hugging the top of the clumn at the firewall. thats the park safety and reverse light switch. its also adjustable.
