You need to replace the transmission switch for the back-up lights - common problem on the ZF-6.

I ran into this same problem in both my seats. I took out both seat so I could find what was wrong or atleast replace some parts in them. Since I did not have the money to replace parts, I put them back in and I got a shock. Both seat worked again sometime you just got take them out and let those gremlin loose into someone else car.
