Electrical problem
1995 Audi A6 6 cyl

My car's reverse lights are not working. I went to a mechanic and they said the neutral safety switch has to be changed. In your website it says that if safety switch fails the starter or reverse lights will not operate. Does that mean soon the starter will not work also or is it fine?
Do I have to worry about that? Please inform me.
Thanks

seems like wrong diagnosis to me...would suspect faulty back-up lamp switch, located at right rear of engine compartment.
