it seriously took like 30 minutes max. It was super easy to get it off, took a few minutes to clip the zipties. I took my time, opened, cleaned, brushed and sanded the contact points lightly. I put new dielectric grease in, reassembled, and reinstalled. Worked like a charm.

My reverse lights are out as well. They were sorta working the other night but I had to play with the shifter a bit. When you clean this sensor in what manner are you cleaning it? Taking it apart and cleaning contacts?
Whoops, didn't see the second page. Sounds easy enough!

Report: I cleaned the TRS (Transmission Range Sensor for ya'll who already forgot what it means) and that fixed our issue.
Also, I did check with Advance Auto, and you're right, they call it the NSS too. That's really weird since the FSM calls it the TRS and there's a separate switch for the Park/Neutral position.
