There is a switch on the transmission that tells the upshift circuit
that it's in 5th gear and thus it should not illuminate.  Either
your switch is bad or the wiring to it is faulty.

Note that there is another similar switch on the transmission.  That one
is for the backup lights.  Make sure you check the proper one.
