thank you for your help SparkieSRT6, you were correct, went back to the local chrysler dealer on friday who changed my miles to KM setting, when the tech thought he was "turning on daytime running lights" in the computer he was in fact disabling my gear indicator. not sure how they were confused with each other but as soon as he undid that change he had made my gear indicator was back. thanks again for your help. BTW i am suppose to hear from the original dealer today regarding the misrepresented odometer so i will keep y'all posted.
thanks.
