I've been watching twin threads, one on backup lights not comming on and the other related to intermitant starter operation. I had both problems arising from a common source --- this applies to automatic transmissions. In addition to the backup switch positioned on the shift lever, there is also an interlock switch which prevents the starter from engaging unless the transmission is in neutral or park. Cleaning the contacts solved both problems. Duane 85 GL
