Anyone ever seen this gear light issue on dash? VIDEO INSIDE

[VIPNiSS]

this is happening on a 2008 h3 ALPHA.. seems like the gear indicator on dash randomly goes in and out. I know for sure it does it in reverse and drive.

First guess is a loose solder connection in the circuit board of the IP.

so this wouldn't be a sign of a bad transmission? It doesn't have anything to do with the tranny correct?

I agree with f5moab My silverado did the same thing and was a bad solder connection.
No I think the trans has nothing to do with the dash light.

Since F5moab (Doug) was involved with the production of the H3 I would start looking where he said.

I had a lot of intermittent power issues with my dash when I did not have a proper ground on the battery terminals but if this was the same case it would be your entire gauge cluster not just one section. Poor solder joint etc sounds more in line.

Hi Doug...
Service engineering, we fixed the problems created by Production.:giggle:

Mea culpa. I believe that you are the most knowledgeable person I know who knows about the specifics of the H3.:woot:

Not anymore! Trying my best to forget.:giggle:

But will tell the OP, the H3's I/P cluster is one of the easiest clusters to replace, and it used to be really cheap, cause it is really cheap.
