On your ZF S6 40 trans there's a backup light switch on driverside up high near top mounting bolt to clutch housing. May be switch or wiring harness/plug or short in wiring. Check that out and let us know.

The only problem with this little thing is it almost takes dropping the tranny just to get to it!

I have the same problem with my 92. I thought I had it fixed, but it's not working again. I had removed the switch and reinstalled it and it worked for a while. So, I'm guessing it's time to replace the switch.
