Should there be lights under the gear selector in a 2011?

Post by dorqus »

So I have a 2011 9C3 (with the offset shifter). Should the gear indicator area (PRNDL) be lit up from underneath? The Sport and Traction Control buttons do light up, but not the gear indicator by the shifter. Thanks!

Yes but it is a LED. Not sure if it even serviceable? Maybe soldered on a board.

My 2012 9C1 offset shifter gear indicator is lighted. I would imagine that the 2011's would also be.

The 11-13 9C1’s are all lighted. Just don’t know if they are identical under the covers, since 11 is a little bit of a red headed step child.

Ok thanks, I'll poke around next time I get a chance, no rush for this as it's purely cosmetic.

OK so I took the shifter area apart today, and indeed there is a bulb there. It's a type 74 bulb (The bulb was labeled with a 74, that's how I knew...)

I don't seem to see them on Autozone.com, so I'll just order from amazon.com, but right now only seeing a 10 pack!

That looks like a 193 bulb. They're pretty common and inexpensive if you wanted to give it a try without having to wait for shipping.

Great, thank you... Will try that, definitely do not need 10 of them!
Actually pretty sure this is it on autozone.com:

The 74 bulb is a smaller base than the 193. I would think you should be able to find a 74 at a local parts store.
