Gear indicator light on dashboard not working.

[jfirusta]

Hello everyone, I just purchased my 1995 Camry LE this past weekend, I love the car. It had a few small things when I bought it, so far I've either fixed them, or they aren't big enough issues for me to bother with, but this one just stumped me. When I first start the car, whether I leave it in Park or change it to Drive or Reverse or Neutral or any gear, it changes just fine but the display in the dashboard won't like up with the appropriate gear. So if I'm in drive, I can drive, but the dashboard doesn't say I'm in a gear until maybe 30 seconds later. This wouldn't even be an issue, but I realized last night that when this happens with reverse, the backup lights don't come on until the light on the dash comes on. What is this? A fuse? Once I've put it in gear, and one of the lights comes on, then I can switch gears and the lights on the dash work normal. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
