“I purchased a 2002 Gmc yukon xl 2 days ago, sold as is with no warranty. At the bottom of the speedometer are the lights that indicate the position of the shifter (park, reverse, neutral, overdrive, and gears 3,2 and 1) and also the odometer reading. These indicator lights worked fine during the test drive but became intermittent on the drive home from the dealership and while driving the vehicle since then. You lose all indication of what gear you are in and of the odometer reading. …”
