1978 D150 A/T column shift indicator light - 06/07/17 05:48 PM

Anybody have a picture of the light that illuminates the shift indicator? This is all that was in the back side. Wire just left hanging.

Yours looks different?

This column is out of a 1977 D150 Warlock I believe.

Bulb appears to be a GE 158 with a blue rubber cover.

Hope this helps?

I went digging in the parts manual to compare 77 to 78

Was able to find wiring / lamp but could only find it for 77 as my other manual is 78-81 and laid out his differently.

Is it possible 78 up are not lighted?

My 78's are long gone.

BTW the "lamp" part # is 3635480 and points to where the wiring plugs into insulator and terminals. Lamp use w/Auto Trans.

The orange wire on this truck is there, but looks to have had it pulled out of the terminal. Need to trace it to see if it's hooked up, cause if it is, I can't believe it wasn't sparking/blowing fuses the way it was just up in the housing. I may grab some blue LED strip lights and solder them in and then box it in to keep it from shining down the column at the dash. Mopar show this weekend here locally, so I'll see if anything is there. Might call one salvage yard to see if they have anything, but the LED strip will work if needed. It's on a friend's truck, and he just needs to be able to see the indicator. Not an OEM restoration type of need, LOL. Thanks again.

That lamp is the same from 72-80 non-tilt trucks

Thank you. I have a work-around figured out in my head, but now I can widen my search a bit.
