March 22, 201115 yr A single dash light went out, the one signifying the car is shifted into D. The backlight for only this symbol is out. Park, Neutral, etc. Still work. Anyone know why, and how to test for what might be wrong? I have an Impreza Outback Sport. '07.

Funny story though, I had a 91 Legacy that for about a year, the "D" bulb on the cluster didn't work, then it magically started to work again....

My 99 OBW does the same thing......light sometimes works, sometimes not. Loose wire or bulb connection I guess. However, if it doesn't work at all.......same thought as above, it must be a bad bulb.
March 22, 201115 yr Tip: the bulb is going to be really cheap, but if you swap the bulb from ''1'' with the one in ''d'' you won't even have to buy one. i usually end up doing these jobs twice. once to figure out what i need and the second time to fix it. swapping the bulb with a known good one will save you a trip to the parts store.

March 22, 201115 yr If it's intermittent, the bulb is probably loose. They're twist lock and can jiggle loose. Napa usually can look up what bulb you need, this eliminates pulling the cluster twice.
