Hi, I've seen this same problem all over the web, but nothing definitive as far as answers. I believe I've narrowed it down to the NSS, but have a simple question before I purchase & do the work.. I've confirmed the fuses & bulbs are all fine. Replaced brand new, actually. After doing some basic continuity testing I haven't found anything to indicate anything else & it appears there isn't another reverse switch/sensor or fuse located on my vehicle besides under the dash, so again, I assume that leaves me with just the nuetral safety switch as the culprit.. Question: there's nothing else that seems to be affected with my vehicle, except that my reverse lights will not turn on. Can a NSS malfunction only affect just the reverse lights..?? Or is this unusual & or would I see other issues like failure to start in park, etc..? And I guess there are couple of more questions I have to go along with it.. There isn't another reverse switch located on my '03 E250, like I've seen on some of Fords other vehicles, correct..? When installing a new NSS, are there any types of adjustments needed, like to the shifter arm or NSS itself..? Thank you very much for any help..

check items in pic if not those then it may be the digital trans switch also in pic but not pointed out. or a broken wire leading to lights.
