ok so first of all, all lights on car are working, but my "light out" indicator is coming on. heres the odd part, it only comes on if i put the car in 6th gear, take it out of 6th and back to 5th and the light goes off.

any thoughts???

 

Shoulda' had a V8.

Or an Automatic.

JK. This is a wierd one. Bad filament in one bulb is re-attaching itself? Has happened before.

 

My initial thought is a short caused by the shift linkage position, but I'm not sure how that would happen. A floppy filament could happen at any speed or bumps.

 

Not necessarily a good one, but a thought ... since it involves the tranny, could the back-up lights circuitry be in mix somehow?

Good luck.

BTW: I rigged my fog lights to work as DRL's, and of course the bulb-out indicator appears permanently. That's expected, so I just put a teeny piece of black electrical tape over it. Out of sight out of mind. You might need to do the same thing.
