Rx-300 Console/dashboard Lights

Hello all,

I have a quick question. I've searched and can't seem to find anything.

I'm having a problem with the lights on the dashboard, it's really only one. The D (Drive) light dosen't light up. (P-R-D-1-2)

When I put the RX in any other Gear it lights up. (On the dash)

So would it be a fuse? Or maybe a wire came loose?

*I did just run a wire for my radar, & took some of the dashboard apart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Burnt bulb?

Hope not, no idea tho. Is that common & would it be easy to fix?

*Was hoping is was a fuse or wire connection*

Thanks

I've seen a number of threads on the "D" light/burnt bulb issue. In summary: since it is the most used (time-wise) gear, the D light burns out before the others. It seems it is a relatively simple matter to replace it, but one must remove the dashboard/gauges. Hereafter a copy of someone else's post on another forum:

You will need to remove the 2 philip head screws on the upper part of black plastic cover around the cluster. Then remove the plastic trim around the ignition key cylinder and another plastic trim on the left side ( the seat memory and remote mirror switch are in this trim) and both of these trims just pop out.

After remove the black plastic cover around the cluster, you will need to remove 3 move philip head screws that hold the cluster. Remove the cluster out of its housing and carefully disconnect 3 connectors.

Then place the cluster face down on a towel to protect the clear cover. You will see the 'D' light from the back side. Just count the indicator light start from the bottom until you get to ' D'. Just use a small flat head screw driver and turn counter clockwise to remove the bulb. If you are not sure it's the right bulb you just removes, just shine the flash light behind it . Good luck.

Maybe someone else has better information, but I would assume that all the gear indicator lights are on the same fuse (?).

Beyond those comments, cannot help... Good luck!
