Self-possessed Up-shift Indicator?

[Alan Pritchard]

If the switch is engaged/disengaged in 5th gear, the illumination will
be fully disabled, otherwise hi (or is it low) vacuum will illuminate
the light.

Thanks, Ti.

If I'm accelerating in fifth gear, there's no light.  But, when I get to

steady-state cruising, and when my cruise control's engaged, the light 
illuminates....

I guess your thoughts about the switch on hte tranny make sense, though.

When you're in fifth gear, there's no place to up-shift to......

I'll get down there some day soon.

Thanks!

Doug

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.
