AutoTrans D4 Light not working

[Akira_kj]

Ok, I saw a post about this but it was vague, in the symptoms-cause kinda thing. I didnt get a awnser i understood so dont get 2 mad if i just didnt understand the lingo.

Here goes. My D4 light on my dash cluster doesnt turn on ... all the rest do. It worked before, worked on and off for awhile, and now never comes on. I read that it was unlikely just a short, and that it was something like a Torque/TQ. I think thats what the troubleshooting guide on this website said about it. I didnt understand what that was or if thats what was broken or not working. If anyone either knows why is messed up or whatever let me know... I dont mind digging up the wiring in the center or pulling the cluster out. Im just looking for a solution or actualy what the problem is.

Thnx guys this is ,my 2nd new thread and was helped alot by my last one. Keep up the good work =]

You check if the bulb was burnt out?

[MadSpleen85]

check the bulb

I would pull the cluster apart and check the bulb. Sounds like what you got is a burnt out bulb. Just my two cents worth...

is it shifting in 4th? if so probably just a bulb.

Thnx guys Ill rip out the cluster this evening if im not dead tired tonight and let yah know.... its probly one of those tiny ass incandecent bulbs =[ Yah she shifts just fine and i dont get any "S" flashing when i start the car or anything.

my d4 lights been burnt since I got the car, I just get used to it

Yeah had the same thing happen on my old 3rd gen but it always shifted into 4th. However if left this way and you actually have a problem you'll never obtain the codes from TCU, since I believe it only blinks the D4 light.

sounds burnt out, since thats usually how they go. they work, they flicker, then they blow.

so where is the d4 light anyway
i mean what do you have to take apart to get to it

the one in teh gauge cluster. you need to remove the dash trim, then pull the gauge cluster out. then you need to remove the bubble, and remove the gas/temp gauge. then you can swap out the D4 light, but the problem is its a non-standard OEM only bulb. make sure you can get a replacement first before pulling it all apart. might want to just swap the D4 and 1 bulbs, since you never use 1 anyway.

Drizzt you dont have a D4 light cause ur in a manual

D4 = Drive 4 or Overdrive

Just curious

I was just wondering if you got the problem fixed? Was it the bulb or what?? Let me know. Just wondering for my own future reference so I would have an idea what to look at if it is something other then the bulb..

be careful with taking apart the cluster...
