Hi, I have a 1978 GS550E, registered in US, imported to UK. The gear indicator LED is faulty. I changed the Shift Indicator Switch, but it still doesn't work right. It registers like this
First Gear shows a
Second Gear shows a
Third gear shows 8
Fourth gear shows 9
Fifth gear shows 8
Sixth gear shows 6. So at least 6 is right!
Another strange thing is that since changing the Shift Indicator Switch, first gear initially shows "1", then changes to "a" when the engine is revved. Other than that, the new Shift Indicator Switch did not make any difference.
I have looked at other forums and it seems the problem is in the LED display which needs replacing. That is a challenge as I can't get one. Any thoughts?
