Reverse lights don't turn on.

[Goulet264]

When doing a light check with my dad, we discovered that the reverse light only turned on for half a second.
Turns out, the reverse light only turns on when going from park to reverse, but it turns off when I lock it in reverse.
Did a similar thing happen to anyone.

More than likely the neutral safety switch needs a little adjustment.

Before adjusting it, make sure all the plastic and rubber insulators and bushings are in place and good condition.

Common chevy issue in older trucks. All my trucks do it, i hold the shifter up a little and they stay on.

I added my own reverse lights, spot lights on a separate manual switch works great, especially when the guy behind you has their high beams on, one quick flip of the switch and wow what a response

Ive done that on my old gmt400. I aimed them to windshield level too. I always forgot to turn them off lol. My 78 actually has an LED pod mounted under the bumper, tagged in to the back up lights.
