reverse light switch

I have an 01 f350, my reverse lights only work when I hold up my shifter, like its almost into park. I think my reverse light switch is bad, but I don't know where its located. any help?

when you have it in reverse, does the indicator show reverse? or is it not quite right?

Yes, but when I get lights to turn on, you can feel it ready to shift into park

The DTR switch may be out of alignment. It's mounted on the transmission. Follow the shifter cable.

Right idea, likely wrong part number. You should have a 4R100, not a 5R55.
