I have an odd question. Is a 1998 Acura CL supposed to have lights on the base of the shifter (automatic transmission)? In otherwords should P, D4, D3, P and N be illuminated when the lights are on? I only have lights on my instrument panel. Thanks for your assistance.

yes the letters on the tranny should light up, sometimes the lights get loose, i used to have a legend and all i had to do was beat on the panel and they would light back up

 

The lights in my 98 arent on either. It was the first thing I noticed whan I got my car and thought it was weird that I had to look at my dash to see what gear I was in. I don't believe there is a light in there, but could be wrong. I hope I am, and it's fixable.

 

I have a 97 3.0 CL and there is a light... still functions too.

 

Damn.... I gota' fix mine.

 

Yeah, me too. I can't recall if they were ever on! Anyone know how hard it is to fix?

 

mine go off and on also.. haha, i don't even wanna f* with it

 

Do what I did put a leather boot around it.

 

my 97 3.0 have the same problem too. i thought there was no light there, but right when i let my gf little sister to drove my car it went on. Then it went off when i jump back in there. I think its us man. =) jk

 

wwhattt?? there is a light there?? i don't believe you! i've always just used the dash infront of me, never really had a problem-- but still it'd be nice anyways!! blahhhhh

 

There's a light there man! i saw it with my own eyes. When i have time imma take that shit apart and fix it.

 

Just had to go look......my lights are working.

I gotta take it all apart anyway - I have a damn light out for the ds seat warmer.

 

i have never heard of that shit before...how weird! Although i dont have the same year as u guys, mine has always lighted up...

i had the same problem w/ my 94 accord and i used the old "hit it" gimmick and they would come back on again....

good luck!!!
