auto tranny "status lights"

aych · Mar 22, 2008

Hello, I have a gen 2 camry LE, auto.
Usually when I shift into "D" or "R" etc.. the "status panel" beside the steering wheel will show me which one I'm shifted in there. Recently, the lights haven't been lighting up, and my reverse lights dont light up when I'm in reverse. Is there a way to fix this or is this a common problem between all models? I know it still works because if I'm lucky, and its the right temperature, it'll work!

hm. but its not my car wont turn over, it always does, its just the lacking of the brake lights and i can't force it into "second gear"

edit : nvm. i get what you mean, seems like too big of a hassle for it. I think i'll consider it again.

classic symptom of dirty neutral safety switch

your problem is a dirty neutral safety switch located on automatic transaxle...needs to be taken apart and cleaned...
