2001 CL-S A/T Gear Position D5 doesn't light which is located in the Tach gauge. I have not removed the gauges. The Acura Service Manual shows one bulb for the A/T Gear Position Indicator. All the other position light, so I thought there would be one bulb per position. How many bulbs are there? What size bulb do I need.

First step is to see if it is indeed burned out. When the ignition key is first turned on, the D5 light should illuminate for a couple of seconds. If it illuminates, most likely your range switch just needs adjustment. If it doesn't then check out this thread over on the TL forum https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-p...-light-965206/

If you want a really cheap fix then you can just pull the 1st gear bulb and put it in the D5 position

@Iggy, Thanks for the reply. I will check out the link you provided.

I found another place in the Acura Service Manual which illustrates multiple bulbs for the A/T Gear Position Indicators. I thought the manual would have the information with the gauge information, but it had the A/T Gear Position Indicators with the transmission stuff. Apparently, there is a gauge backlight bulb in addition to the A/T Gear Position Indicators shown in the tach gauge.

D5 does not light when the ignition switch is turned "on" or any other time when the lights are "on". I am the original owner, and I have only changed the clock bulb. D5 is the most used of the indicators, so I suspect it is burned out.
