Hey everyone,
I was hoping someone could help me out with some info... I have an issue where the lighted indicator surrounding my D4 gear does not light up on the gauge display. All of the other gear positions light up when I shift into the gear, except D4. Is this something I can correct fairly easily? Or should I take it to the dealer...


Thanks in advance.

 

I got the exact same question as he does and would like to know how much it would cost to replace the bulb or whatever, thanx!

 

obviously the dealer is going to charge an arm and a leg to change one tiny little bulb. do a search and you'll find the solution to your problems. the bulbs are about 5 bucks from the dealer and you can easily do the swap yourself. i believe the dealership charges 50 bucks or something.

 

ive had the same ? for some time i went to the dealer adn they tried to tell me that it would be 100 to fix it ... i was like i dont nee it that bad

 

I replaced the D4 lamp on my 97 3.2 TL and it was easy to do . It took about 15 minutes.

1. The dash panel comes out in one piece from the left vents to the middle vents.
2. There are 4 bolts that hold the panel in place: 2 are at the top by the speedo/tach and 2 are hidden behind the rubber flap between the dash and the steering wheel. The wheel must be dropped to its lowest position
3. After the bolts are removed, pull the panel towards you and at the same time, use a thin tool like a putty knife to pop open the clips which are at the vent locations. The clips are at the bottom of the panel. Be careful not to break the clips
4. Remove the wires to the emergency switch and pull the panel out
5. Replace the lamp and put the dash back in.

 

Thanks, that was useful

 

i did mine also. i just switched the d4 light for the 1st gear one. i never put the car in 1st...

 

damn i thought i was tha only one with that problem haha. im too damn lazy to mess with that shet so imma just leave tha D4 light off.

 

I read somewhere that the D4 light also blinks when there is problem with the engine. If so, it would be a good idea replace the burned out bulb.

Can someone verify this?

 

Thanks for the info... I will attempt to fix this weekend.
