electrical short is my guess. I think Nathan had a similar problem. His XJ wouldn't reverse on a trail run a loooong time ago. Check backup lights wiring.

Then again I could be completely wrong, but that is my guess.

Just started all of a sudden or slowly got worse?
Does it move at all ?
'check engine light' always on?
