Question because I just noticed this tonight..

On my 2004 Civic base model sedan, 4 door automatic shift with shifter in the center console, should the gear numbers, neutral N and reverse R light up at night or are the only indicator lights on the dash board?

 

i believe they should. it might simply be burnt out bulbs.

 

Well that's terrible then.

Yesterday I took out the radio to put in an adapter behind it. I had to take off the shifter trim panels but how would that have made the wires connected to the light there get knocked around?

Ugh. Now I need to take the whole thing apart again to try to figure out what I did wrong that would have caused lights to go out.

 

my 2004 vp coupe dosent lite up either

 

So maybe they don't light up and we are just imagining things?

Does anyone know for sure?
