Is the gear shift slection (park,reverse,drive) suppose to light up when you turn on your lights? The ones beside the gear shift.I didn't know if I had a blub burn out or they just don't light up.

nope, thats why they are in the instrument cluster the way they are.

um, er, actually they do... ;-)

The OP most likely has a burnt out bulb.

hmmmm thats good to know since mine dont either. maybe i unplugged something when i was in there last.

Mine don't light up either? Maybe it was one of those suttle design changes?

For the Record....

Mine are illuminated also!!!

Looks like I have more than one burnt bulb. LOL

My gear shift selection does not light up either. Neither does my hazard button. The time I noticed they were not lit, I couldn't remember if they were ever lit so I just ignored the fact. I never look down there anyway for the gear selection. I always look at the instrument cluster.

Usually the gauge cluster will have wires running for each individual gear position to the shifter unit. Also, if they are in the wrong spot on the pin in the cluster, not only will they not light up, but if the reverse lock out is in the wrong spot, it will cause the tranny to shift roughly when you move it from park, rev. I don't know about the illumination on the element, but if the numbers light up it is probably a dash light issue, or a burned bulb in that particular spot, although I don't see how that works.

Oh and don't forget that it's only the shift pattern that is illuminated on the shifter,not your actual gear selection.

How did you get your radio to show the song names? I have an '03 and it doesn't show names.

It could be XM as well. He has an EX which comes with an XM tuner.
