mikeamondo Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hoping someone has a quick, easy answer to this one..... Our 99 Legacy, AWD, auto, 2.2L, we just bought seems to be lacking indicator lights on the dash which tell you the gear you've moved the shifter into. There is a black area just under the tack, which I assume is supposed to show a P, R, N, D, etc, while the engine is running... but we get nada. Didn't notice it till we drove at night and you can't be sure the car is in D3 verses D, etc.... Any ideas? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hopefully the trouble is just a bad connection on the back side of the display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 [...]Our 99 Legacy, AWD, auto, 2.2L, we just bought seems to be lacking indicator lights on the dash which tell you the gear you've moved the shifter into."Lacking" is the correct word, as in "they don't exist". There is a black area just under the tack, which I assume is supposed to show a P, R, N, D, etc, while the engine is running... but we get nada.Do you mean the area between the "AT OIL TEMP" and "ABS" lights? If so, that's blank. Didn't notice it till we drove at night and you can't be sure the car is in D3 verses D, etc.... Any ideas? The gear selector should be illuminated whenever the exterior light are turned on via the stalk (but not by turning on the parking lights with the switch at the top of the steering column). If not, there's likely a bulb burned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeamondo Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 "Lacking" is the correct word, as in "they don't exist". Ah... yes.... well I guess that would explain it. Don't know why I assumed something would illuminate on the dash. I'll dig into the center console to see if I can find a burned out bulb in there. Thanks! M.

OB99W Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 You're welcome. Do be careful; the bulb is on the same circuit as the dash illumination (dimmable), and a short can kill the solid-state illumination control module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 hi Mike Do listen to what OB99W says they are delicate FYI The newer styles have what you were looking for. my 97 Oh Bee does not have the feature you speak of but my 03 VDC does (pretty easy to see) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
