CIRCUIT OPERATION
The transmission switch provides the ground path for
the indicator lamps located on the dashboard.
For
example, when neutral is selected, Green/White wire
connected to ground throughout the switch and the
neutral lamp is illuminated.
If the light does not illuminate when neutral is
selected, check the bulb. If the bulb is good, check the
wiring, transmission switch, and lamp socket source
voltage.
Perform the same test for all four gear
indicators. Refer to the wire diagram for wire colors.
