Default '99 Gs300 - Gear indicator light

The gear indicator light on the shifter panel sometimes goes dark after I shift from Park. If I shift back into Park and then into Drive - the light comes back on. Has anyone else had this experience?

mine too....

sometimes i could sit in park and the indicator isnt even lit up... but at the same time, i can shift into any gear without pressing the brake...

that goes for drive and reverse too...

I think my safety switch has gone bad

Loose connection causes this. Try hitting with your palm see if it lights up.

we're talking about the light on the cluster where it shows what gear you are in.

Yeah - what he said!
Look for the letter symbols (P R N D 4 3 2 1) located right by the shifter.
How do you insert a picture on this site?
