Any one else had this problem and if so can it be fixed inexpensively? Or does this indicate a problem with my transmission l? 4718c5f8041c37f4eb11e9ddf9ce10fb.jpge8d30fea8d1ed63a76536521db722f36.jpg293bfc327d6adb32704c2f13ed6e39e9.jpg

It seems to do it more in the afternoon when it's really hot out

The "D" light does not come on sometimes and when it does it goes out after a few minutes.

Lol I see ? Hmmmm

Does the drive gear always work ?

Have you ever had your cluster removed for any reason ?

Does the + / - work as normal?

You have the 6 speed 45RFE correct ?

How many miles ?

Is it hard to get out of park ?

If you jiggle the shifter arm does the D light illuminate ?

Have you ever had to jiggle the shifter to get the Engine to crank ?

Does it matter what the column position is in ( all the way up , middle or all down ?)

Sorry for all the questions .

I'd say your intermittent green D is just a nuisance at this point . Likely culprit being the instrument cluster itself or shifter position sensor .
Either way no issue with the xsmn imo .
When power is on in a vehicle the most used position is the D position , @ 97k that light has been on thousands of hours and the circuits to make that light come on are just showing their age .
Instrument lights on my last Dodge started going out or intermittent at a little over 100k .

Hope this helps !

Not sure , try Google & youtube.

If it's intermittent it's probably not a bulb .
