Yes, it just needs adjusting or is dirty.

Locate it on the passengers side of the trans, shaped like a fan, loosen the 12mm bolt at the top and rotate it until it starts in park-and the back up lights come on in reverse ( engine off, wheels blocked ). If it is intermittent remove it and clean the inside and replace di-electric grease inside..

It should be on the transmission. There should be two, a reverse light switch and a neutral switch. Unplug one and put it in reverse. if the backup lights come on, then that's the one you want. Unscrew it and screw in a new one. pretty easy.
