VX shift indicator light not working when..
 

Hi,

I've had a '94 VX for a week now. noticed that the shift indicator light doesn't work with the headlights on. I'm not technical, but I'm not stupid either. Any thoughts on a fix. thanks.

try replacing the engine ground straps. i just did on my 93 vx and the old ones where ready to fall off. it might not fix it but it cheap place to start.

thanks Justin. I'll look into that. I do get shocked everytime i get out of the car.
I also noticed that I have no dashboard light, so it may just be a fuse.

Check the fuses first, but it sounds like you have a bad dimmer control switch. Run the wheel up and down a few times and make sure it's in the full bright position. If it still doesn't work and you have good fuse on it's circuit, then find a working replacement dimmer switch.

..turns out it was just a loose connection with the dash dimmer, which is on the same circuit as the shift indicator light (SIL).
