Not all the shift positions on the AT shift selector dash indicator panel light up when selected:
P R N D 2 1
Norm PWR O/D Off
R, Norm, O/D Off do not light up. All other selections do illuminate.
Previously we had to replace the neutral safety switch, as the back-up lights would not turn on when R was engaged. If I remember correctly, replacing this switch also caused other gears on dash indicator panel to illuminate that were previously dark 100% of the time.
Are the 3 that currently do not work, typically a matter of:
- Light bulbs?
- A circuit board - the dash indicator panel?
- Or something else?
I know on the Gen 3, they are light nulbs for each one. If they all went out at the SAME time, I'd say circuit board. If they were seperate times, I'd say just the bulbs.

just go to the junkyard and grab a few of the little indicator boxes like in the previous post. they're cheap and you'll have plenty of bulbs on hand just in case they burn out.
I have the same problem in my dads camry a gen 4.5, but my indicator panel "P R N D 2 1" does not light up at all, its just blacken out, is it the fuse? or do i have to replace the whole thing too?

i checked all the fuses and none of them appear to be out, i'm starting to think that maybe the whole thing needs to be change, any more help would be appreciated and thanks for your response.

Usually D and Norm bulbs are burning out first.
Also,
on AISIN produced indcator boards the printed circuit tracers are losing conductivity where they go from one to other side of the board (these points look like dots with miniture hole in the center). I fed a strand of wire through these holes and soldered it to the tracers on both sides.This fixed P and N indicators. Before that, either P or N indicators were glowing together with R indicator, in P or N position respectively. When R was selected, all P,R, and N were getting dark. It turned out, that the common ground path for these three lights was interrupted and back-up lights circuit served as an alternative ground when P or N were selected. In 1989 different indicator board was installed on some cars and the lamps from it will not fit into Aisin type board.

Hate to bring up old threads but this is all I've been able to find with my problem. Neutral safety switch works fine. I've got another from the junk yard and it's doing the same thing. Normally from a completely cold start, the p r n d indictator lights will work for a few seconds but then the p and r and r and n will be combined together when selecting park and neutral respectively.
I'm wondering how to fix this, Doctor J? It has to have something to do with the dash itself like you stated. When I select r normally all lights will be off.

So basically I'm going to solder a wire through that hole from one side to the other? Do I need to expose the line of the path using sandpaper, or should I just solder the wire to the board through that hole from the one side to the other as shown?
