Gear indicator not working.

[muncher]

Hi all. My gear indicator has just stopped working. It no longer tells me if I am in D or N etc. Can someone give me any ideas on how to fix this?
Cheers.

Take the dash bezel off and see what happened. Maybe the spring or needle broke.

Or the cable may have broken, it is on mine (someone probably dropped the column without disconnecting stuff first).

On mine there is a band that connects the pointer that is broken. I haven't looked into fixing it cause I have other things that need attention first for something that is just nice.

Look around the collar there are some it's a clip, needs a squeeze.
Or some it's a real short star screw, holding the clip.
Up into a grove in the cluster across to the pointer,a spring pulls it back.

Thanks guys. From what you are saying it sounds like may be a broken or detached spring. The pointer on mine stays to the right on the last position it was put on. Doesn't return to P. Looks like I have another weekend job to do. Cheers.

I got a replacement from LMC.

If it stays to the right, the spring is broken. If it stays to the left, the cable is broken.

Rich I was thinking the same, from what has been said on here. Gonna get in to it today. Thanks for all the help guys.

All fixed. Turns out the wire/cable had come out of its groove. The pointer was a little notchy in its movement too, so I greased that. Now works perfect. Whilst I was at it I adjusted the pointer to sit over the middle of the D and P etc. Thanks again for the help.
