a burnt out bulb.

 

a burnt out bulb.

that is some reason :hammer:

 

It has happen to me to maybe a year ago than maybe a few months now it came back. Can't explain what happen but that's what happen.

 

"new one"? This ain't a new one. Been broken in my car for a while now...:lol: I'm just too damn lazy to get it fixed.

 

it happened to me too!! My "D" is out as well, but im also too lazy to change it.. haha

 

Just like grapfury and dark mastyr ^. I have same problem. Just too lazy to take apart dash to get into the gauges to replace it. It's not going to kill you if you don't replace it.

 

When I installed the gauges I totally forgot about that and didn't check to change the bulb.

 

its an easy job, shouldnt take any more than 30 minutes, the hard part is, however, finding the right bulbs for it

 

everyone and theyre mothers have had that prob... just live with it :thumbup:

Just take the one from the 2 or L gear out and put that one in the D slot. At least that's what I'm going to do.

 

Just drive around in "L"

The bulb behind my tach burnt out. But since I don't hit 6-7K, I'll just leave it be :

 

Well mine has been out since I got the car. I looked but I didn't see any bulb back there. Am I looking in the wrong spot?

 

Mine's been out since I got the car too... I think if I replace it, it'll distract me, cause it'll be a light that I'm not used to seeing.

 

well u know, "d" is probably used most often.... so it sounds like it could be the bulb...

 

Mine's been burnt. It's not a concern of mine. When I look down at the shifter, if it says "D" I know it's in drive, despite the light not being light.

 

Okay. It's common then. Good to know.

Sh*t is hitting the fan for me right about now.

In the past three months:

Stalling out and stop signs and red lights. Took it to a friends mechanic who didn't have a clue. Ripped me for a fuel pump and distributor. After my fourth visit back to him (each time the car got worse) the check engine light came on as I was driving away. Turned out to be a clogged EGR valve.

Next, alarm system bugged out. Parking lights staying on and chirps reversed. I just disconnected it.

Then, motor in power antenna went. Replaced with an aftermarket antenna.

Then, couldn't shift out of park. Stuck a pin underneath the switch to keep it open.

Then, radiator and ac fans went. Motors and fuses are o.k. Taking it in to get looked at this week.

My Camry testing me right about now. :

 

heh... damn man, sounds like... me!

there will be more to come. good luck man, and dont lose your head! (even though i must have went crazy a couple times myself).

 

Burnt out here to! DAMN YOU D BULB!!!

 

My bulb burnt out, put in some bulb from the space that said "MANS" or something (take a flashlight and shine it in the empty spaces below PWR and O/D) That bulb burnt out, took another one from my L, and that burnt out as well.

Don't bother replacing it.....

 

what is the part# or standard for those bulbs anyways? I mean link H4 or 9005 or ???
I am going to make this an install weekendand I am trying to line up as many things I need to do while I am in there. I personally don't like the D light, but that nagging thought that something is burned on my ride is grating on my nerves..Maybe I can tint it so it isn't so bright, and the fact that some fool left a greasy mark on the inside (smeared fingerprint??) on the clear plastic for the speedo housing. Also wondering if anyone has managed to get that green off the clock? Since I have replaced all the stupid bulbs on the main dash and climate knobs and peeled all that snot green stuff off, it looks weird with that one green glowing clock and all the rest in white, red and blue. Did the SEARCH button already but there but couldnt find info I need.
Nice, cheap, not so messy DIY project.

 

happened to me too....

i posted here, tho.

good answers if ya'll need em. (for a gen4, to be specific, tho it might not matter) :thumbup:

 

mines gone too.. but i thought it just didnt have a bulb behind it...i thought that the d light just didnt turn on from factory since you drive with it all the time it might be a distraction or something...erm...

 

see that blinking button up in the top middle... it says SEARCH on it... if you had done that, you would have found that this is NOT a "NEW ONE"
