Turns out that just disassembling and reassembling then flicking the bulb got it working again.

Kinja'd!!!

Which is fortunate because none of my 10 LED lights fit. I am left with these four lights for spares I guess. They don’t fit in the Kia I already checked.

The shift light in my old outback was dead for the first 4 years or so of my family’s ownership of it. Then one day it just started working again.

I pulled the cluster on my first P71 because half of it was burned out. Or so I thought.

Turns out rough driving policemans made the sockets turn 1/8 of a turn, making them loose. Tightened them all up and had light again.

Oh, and my my 3 last week I noticed the license plate lights were both out. A good open palmed smack to the center of the bumper fixed those.

What is “P”?

What is “D”?

Think I’ve got the rest figured out.

I need to do this with my wife’s CX-5. The bulb for the gear selector on it randomly burned out recently.
