Got in my truck yesterday evening and noticed that my vertical gear indicator is no longer working. It's the indicator that shows what gear you are in... 1-6.

Went to the lake fishing yesterday, and my brother backed the boat trailer down, we loaded the boat...but when I went to leave the boat ramp is when I noticed the indicator was not working. He said he pushed a couple of buttons on the steering wheel to stop the backup beeper...but I don't know of anything that would cause the gear indicator to stop working.

Anyone else heard of this?

 

There are up and down shift buttons on your shifter if you have a column shift.
Press the buttons to turn display back on and push more to lock out specific gears.

This is a feature not a problem!


I had same "feature" concerns when I first got my 2013!

Enjoy!

Whew...thank you Shark. Just went and tried it....it's back on. I did not know of this feature of turning it off. My brother inadvertently turned it off yesterday.

 

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?

 

I have the owner's manual...just never thought you'd be able to turn the gear indicator OFF. Why would you want to?

 

If you install an aftermarket tune, it turns it off. I did a quick search in the forums and was able to get the answer when mine did this.

 

Permanently or can you turn it back on?

 

Mine was off when I bought it, found it by mistake one day.

 

You turn it back on via the + button.

 

I have used the manual shift lock via the + and - buttons on the shifter, especially when pulling my boat...but had never tried to go up higher than 6. If you hit the + after the 6 it will turn off the gear display. Still not sure why that would be a feature .
