shifting light brunt out?

Today i noticed the light thats normally green in the tach that tells me what gear im in D5 is no longer on when im in D5 but all the other lights are on. Park is red, neutral and D4,D3,D2 etc work fine can anyone tell me what the problem might be? Is it just a burned out bulb?

thanks

Yea, I have the same problem. I know for sure one of the members here had the bulb replaced. I'm not sure how much it would cost to replace though. ~$80

Are you sure that the gear shift is in its position all the way?

I noticed that once or twice, and my shifter wasnt all the way engaged in D5.

I don't think that is the problem, as I'm sure the driver would notice eventually. Mine is definitely burned out, and I'm going to attempt to replace it soon. It doesn't look like an easy job, and I can't find a good DIY for it.

It involves taking the cluster fully apart. =[

True. Just a thought.

Good luck.

This should help. It's doable but still looks like a pain in the ass for one led.
