My 2019 Isuzu D-Max doesn't display the gear in which I am driving on the dashboard, yet it used to previously. What does this imply?
Answered by CarsGuide
9 Oct 2024The digital displays on modern cars are known to sometimes randomly fail for no apparent reason. Sometimes it’s the whole display that fritzes, other times just a smaller part of the display will disappear. Usually, replacing the LED module is the fix.
From memory, this model D-Max groups the fuel and temperature gauges, odometer and the gear position information into a small unit in the middle of the dash binnacle. Which means it might be a bit complicated re-connecting the temperature and fuel tank sensor units to the new module, as well as making sure the new odometer reads the correct mileage for the vehicle. An auto electrician should be able to handle it, though.
Technically, of course, any car without a working gear-position indicator is unroadworthy, so this needs to be fixed rather than ignored.
