Shifter Lights

LucianWRX · 08-23-2010, 11:34 PM

Guys, maybe I have never noticed before but I don't have any lights next to my automatic transmission shifter to indicate what gear that I am in. (e.g 1,2,3, D,R,etc). Is this a bulb or fuse that's gone? Or was there never lights down there to begin with? Also no light in the ash tray above the cigarette lighter.

Feedback would be appreciated

there should be a bulb in the shifter area.

if anything. check the fuses.

Will check the fuses first because I notice there is no light near the cigarette lighter as well...Thanks Perry

i believe if the fuse is gone - the cigarette lighter will be shot as well. if you have that (cigarette lighter), you can see if that works

the light would not be on the same fuse...the cigarette lighter gets power as soon as you put the key in the acc/on position...the light only comes on when you put on the parking lights/headlights...its gotta be a fuse...
