cleaned nss and still now b/u lights

hey everyone good news my jeep started tonight ive been searching for the past week or so now and have found so many helpfull threads but one i cant find is what if its not the switch thats the reason my lights arnt working or is the switch pretty finniky cuz it will only start in park/nuetral but there is no b/u lights ? tried moving the switch back and forth if its starting i shouldnt have to adjust it or might i thanks for any info and sweet job on the site this is one of the best forums ive seen

Whoa! Stop and breathe a little more often - oxygen deprivation does strange things to the brain...

Now that I've got that out of the way, here's my next question - what year is your XJ? Trim level (not that that should matter, but it just might...)

Usually, the turn lamps and the backup lamps are on the same fuze - do your turn signals still work?

When you reinstalled the NSS, did you adjust it? There's a little room for that, and it IS necessary.

What were the original symptoms that made you tear the NSS down - was it just the reversing lights, or was it strating trouble?

All this and more will help us with diagnosis!

Oh - and breathe...
