Hi guys. I am running into a problem where my "drive" light indicator does not illuminate on my dash indicator. Whenever I change to any other gears, it lights up with no problem. It is only when I put it in DRIVE that the indicator doen not light up/display.

Can you please help me correct this? I am not sure if maybe a wire is loose, or if it could be more serious than that.

If you are talking about the square shape that should light up what ever gear your in. The light is burnt, the only way to fix that is to remove the cluster and replace the light.

Piece of advice.....I change the same light in a 93 Camry......did all that work...2 weeks later.............BURN'T AGAIN. 2 choices ------>go ahead and change the light or live with it.

Slicksam. Thanks for the advice. The funny thing is that my light will come on everynow and then. The bulb must be loose, or like you said, need replacing. I will most likely remove the cluster, and replace it. The fact it is not working is driving me mad.

Thanks for you advice!
