The little green 'D' in my heads-up display went dark, all other transmission indicator positions still light up. I guess there is a special little bulb for the 'D' position?

Yes, each indicator has its own bulb.

Check this. Bill Ball posted it.

You have a heads-up display?

I find that difficult to believe.

See Ed's guide: http://www.ed.scherer.name/Porsche_9...0to%20LEDs.pdf

Even if you don't flip to LEDs, it shows you how to access the bulbs.

I do, it projects a 3-D hologram on the inside of my windshield, you should see it sometime.

/and this is in your 928? Please tell us more. This reminds me of:

Speaking of paranoid, my little green 'D' is not burnt out after all. Recently I found that when I push the trip reset once or twice it turns back on. A loose wire perhaps? Hmm. This resulted from the last time the console was taken out.

Randy you really are a prat sometimes, heads up to some countries, means we can see it on our dash cluster, not just on the shifter plate, might want to think before shooting sometimes dude.

My green "D" light is out on my S4 as well...

You can end up with a little green "d" if you aren't careful where you put it.

Had the same problem with "D", changed the bulb with a known good bulb but no luck...could it possibly be a bad contact in the shifter? Have not looked yet, just wondering if anyone else has chased the same problem and what they found?

SteveG

Is the shifter pointing directly at the correct gear in the center console, i.e., is it misaligned? I tightened the cable, still no "D". Had to replace the switch on the transmission.

gbarron

Yes, shifter is pointing at the "D". All other trans indicator bulbs illuminate fine. Sounds like I need to check the switch on the trans, thanks!
