It's not the lights on the dash, it's the lights next to the actual shift ****, by the arm console.

Has this happened to anyone before? And if so, what was the diagnosis?

Appreciate any replies to this matter

Thx

 

Blown bulb!!

 

can I get to it myself or is this a dealer thing?

 

Most likely a blown fuse. Done it before when I was installing my stereo. That fuse is shared by a couple of other lights (i can't remember exactly which ones..i think one of them is the light on the buttons on the AC pannel..not the actual display..but the tiny letters on the buttons that illuminate..). Are all your other lights working fine?

Take a look at your owner's manual. It will tell you which fuse is responsible for the lights on the shifter. Take the fuse out and see if it's blown. If not, then it could be some other problem.

Good luck.

 

look on the bright side, at least you don't have to look at the "christmas tree" on your shift gate anymore....at least that's what I call it.

The shift gate and the cheap-looking digital clock are the only two things I do not care for about my GS.

 

i dont really care for the clock either. thinking about giving that V-1 hidden display a try
makes me wonder though, anyone ever try sticking a shift boot onto their GS?

 

RMMGS4 has both the V1 mod you are talking about plus a shift boot. I think Cong28 has one too. They may have pics of the setup.
