i'd lift your tank up and check the connection. maybe you have a little water in the wires or something? that is what i'd do. if it looks good give it a little wiggle, if that doesn't work i'd go to plan B. take off the plastic protection around the bundle of wires look em over a bit and i've gone as far as cutting them and splicing them back together. do what you gotta do bud. good luck!

Your neutral switch @ the transmission may be going **** up. Check your connection there.

I changed my tranny & engine oil yesterday and my neutral light has been working ever since. Go figure.
