PRNDL display went out.

Anybody know what might cause it to go out? Now I have to guess what position the shift selector is in

Burned out lite bulb .
Not sure on that yr. , but I have seen sometimes , they will use a piece of plastic or cable to bring lite from an other source , anything else go out / any work in that area ?
Maybe something got bumped out of place .

This is a fluorescent gas lit display. No light bulb. Everything else works.

Reprogram it back to stock with your smarty and see if it fixes it. I have heard sometimes programmers can cause this problem on 03-04 trucks. It may be your TM setting.

Thanks. I was thinking it might have been caused by the smarty but wanted to ask the general question first before suggesting the smarty. I recently lent it out and had to go back to stock for a week.

I'll do it and see.

Thanks spooler!!!

when you have the shift disable enabled on the smarty you will lose the light. take the shift disable option off and the light will be back
