'74 Reverse Lights Mystery

Have 74 f100 with automatic trans. just got all of the lighting working on the rear-end except the reverse lights only blink on and then off when I shift from park to reverse. If I hold the shifter in between park and reverse they stay illuminated. Anyone know what the deal is???

Quick guess...your reverse lights run out of the neutral saftey switch & it's worn out some.
Check the drivers side of the tranny where the shifter linkage goes in. The switch will be mounted there.

The mounting bolts for the switch may have some slots for minor adjustment.
