Reverse Lights Died

My 04 3.8l Town & Country mini-van has lost its reverse lights and it's not the bulbs.

Should I replace the Gear Position Switch or the Neutral Safety Switch or look somewhere else?

I don't know the T&C, but if it's like 95+% of cars today, including Chryslers, the gear position switch and the neutral safety switch are one and the same (OEMs tend to call it "transmission range sensor", aftermarket calls it neutral/park safety switch or similar). It's certainly a good possibility to be the problem, but the best approach is to use schematics (Chrysler - not Haynes) and a multimeter to prove or disprove it. Short of that you'd need a calibrated crystal ball to know for sure. You could of course take a gamble and just replace the TRS.

You got that wight Mr. wong. I only know about the LH cars, and what you say is true of them. I think the T&C has a variation of the same transmission. Coincidentally, a couple of weeks ago, I had to change this part on my wife's Buick - it was externally accessible on top of the tranny, very accessible.

Might be a decent idea to watch and see if they flash on as you slowly move gear lever between its extremes. Should it lite in the 'wrong' position, it tells something different than if it fails to lite at all...too tired just now to tell you the difference. s
