Topaz. Here is some additional info : One person found a switch on the transmission, disconnected it, but the light still worked. I suspect that he found the backup light switch instead. To help locate the correct switch, try to locate the switch mounted on the lower /rear part of the transmission. To verify that you have located the right switch, shift the transmission into 5th gear (engine OFF please!!). If you have the right switch, then a tab on the transmission linkage should be pressing on the switch (only in 5th gear) thereby breaking the circuit to the shift light. You will have to get a good bit of your body under the car to find the switch. I did try to mail this info directly, but it never got there, so I am posting it to the entire network. My apologies to the rest of the network.
