The N light not lighting up

I have an 06 Tacoma and I just noticed that the P lights up bright in park and the R lights up bright in reverse. The D and so on but when in neutral the N just stays the same. Is this normal? The photo is just of the P and the other lights are what the N looks like when selected. Not enough to sell the truck but I’m just curious what it should look like.

 

I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to.
I have not paid much attention to mine.
I will try and check mine tomorrow and let you know.

 

It lights up on my 2015. Just checked

 

Bulb out

 

It’s an LED I think.

 

And? LEDS go out.

 

You or someone needs to remove the old led and solder in a new one.

 

You mean the OP, cuz I’m eating dinner

 

Yep and what are you having?

 

Just simple spaghetti

It could also be a problem with the Transmission Range Switch or wiring, in Neutral power is applied to Pin 9 (Blue/White (V6 Engine)) (Green/White (4cyl Engine)) of the Range Switch to Pin 3 (Blue/White) of Connector C10 at the Combination Meter (Instrument Panel) to turn the Neutral Indicator on.

Ok thanks for the info! I was watching a YouTube video of someone soldering a new bulb in and I might be up for that! If I get scared and decide another rout. What would I order, the entire cluster or just the???

 

You'd have to solder in a new LED.

I wouldnt bother unless it was a critical bulb. Although unlikely you could cause further damage trying to repair it.

 

Dinner was the tail end of the T-day. Tomorrow, we start the Turkey stew. Bird lasted longer than the sides.

big downer tomorrow. Last of the pie will finish.....

 

I would first verify the Transmission Range Switch is good before going after the cluster.

 

This is why to have a stick shift and wiggle it constantly at red lights.

 

Just to avoid a light on the dash....???? That is such a weak reason.....its so weak its flaccid.

 

Holding a shift lever is so Al Bundy.
