backup light

The backup light on my '94 E320 don't go on when I go in reverse, I have to shift the thing between park, reverse, neutral, and drive several times before the light comes on. Is there a switch somewhere that's sticking? The bulbs and socket are okay. Can't find any wiring for the backup light switch under the car.
Anybody had the same problem? Thanks.......

I think the switch is in with the gear selector. I'll check the cd and get back to you.
