96 7.3l e4od intermittent reverse lights
I notice that my reverse lights don't like to come on most of the ttime. I would have to keep wiggling the shifter and move around the gear range to get them to come on. This all started happening after I got the transfer rebuilt and he replaced the mlps sensor. linkage and all seem to be tight with no play. any suggestions?

You have to adjust it. Here's another picture;

Here's the procedure;
Park is the last detent when the manual control lever is full forward. Return 2 detents toward the output shaft for Neutral.
1.Position the manual control lever in Neutral .
2.Insert Gear Position Sensor Adjuster tool T93P-700 10-A or equivalent, into the slots.
3.Align all 3 slots on the MLP sensor with 3 tabs on the tool.
4.Tighten the attaching screws to 80-100 inch lbs. (9-11 Nm).
