Troubleshooting the fiber optic gear indicator light
My indicator light has never worked since I've owned the truck. I recently spruced up my instrument cluster, and replaced all the bulbs (including the bulb that goes to the fiber optic cable). Unfortunately, it still doesn't light up. Anything else I can check to get it working?

Re: Troubleshooting the fiber optic gear indicator light
Did you check to see if the fiber optic line is still connected to the pointer?

Re: Troubleshooting the fiber optic gear indicator light
You can still get them, I'm pretty sure LMC and Classic parts has them, as well as a few others. Good luck and lets us know what you find!

Re: Troubleshooting the fiber optic gear indicator light
The gear indicator is supposed to light up? I had no idea.

Re: Troubleshooting the fiber optic gear indicator light
mine was broken, I pulled one out of a van at the wrecking yard. GM used them in lots of vehicles for ash tray/lights shifter lights etc... Just need to make sure it's long enough and use it. If the bulb it's hooked to works and it doesn't light the indicator the optic is probably broken or your indicator has been painted or some thing like that
