My GL 1500 is in the shop so I can't test this at the moment...

Does anyone remember: Does the Reverse light come on at start up? Also, does it stay on until the engine turns over and runs?

Thanks.... Brian

Brian, it comes on for about 3 seconds once you turn the switch on like the oil light and a couple others. It will go out whether or not you start the engine. If it's on the engine won't start because the starter will be locked out. I believe the source of your problem is either the reverse switch down by the reverse handle not operating or possibly the reverse relay hanging up.
