Gearbox sensor

[Bo_Greene]

Hey guys,I'm having a little bit of problem with my gearbox sensor. My indicator on the meter board doesn't show my gear indicator each time I put my gear in 'D'. It will only show up after about 5 seconds later. Im thinking that this should be a problem with my sensor. Has anyone ever faced this before. I would appreciate if someone can advise me on the price of the sensor as well. Please let me know kays. Thanx in advance.

BG,

Suggest that you clean the connectors first. The problem could be due to dirt accumulated on the
connectors. see item 15

Just take out the lever sensor and clean up the connectors. In my case, the lever sensor has a little bit of dirt and few drops of water inside. So I just clean it up and sealed the casing back properly. Now I'm no longer facing the problem.
