Ok thanks. Did your wires break off then? Or is there some kind of connection that could be loose on the outside? My reverse lights weren't coming on at all, then after some rooting around they came back.The other day I found that both wires were off the switch. Not sure if they fell off, or if I knocked them off doing something else. Worth checking.
ESPREE, it's a screw-in unit with a ball on the end that engages a detent in one of the internal shift rails. You can't get to the contacts to clean them. If you take the switch out you might lose fluid, I can't recall how far up the side of the case it's mounted.
Very common for the wires to fall off or get knocked off. It is also very common for the switch to go bad. Some owners (Delorean owners) have discovered sometimes you can get the switch to work if you use another or thicker washer.The other day I found that both wires were off the switch.

it would be nice if you can put the part # cross referenceThe switch is on the passenger side of the tranny near the speedo takeoff.
They often go bad and are easy to damage as they are quite exposed.
The part is a Delorean crossover part.
