Why is the shifter light not on on my Honda CRV?
Yes, the letters are not in alignment with the position of the shifter–the shifter position is below the marked D position. That’s why I’ve twice put the car in neutral instead of drive. This coupled with the lack of an indicator on the shifter to confirm where you are at causes problems. This is a design flaw in the 2017 CRV.
How do you put a shift pointer on a Honda CRV?
It should be fairly straightforward to fabricate a shift pointer. Could be something as simple (and ugly) as coat hanger wire, or you could have a 3D-printing outfit fabricate a black plastic clip of your own design that had a pointer and clipped on to the snifter shaft. Not as nice as a light, but still quite functional.
Is there a gear indicator on a Honda CRV?
Not sure if this is a problem just with my CRV or not. When I shift into gear, there’s no indicator or light on the shifter that confirms I’m in “D,” or any of the other gears. The dashboard says the gear, but not at the shifter. I’ve twice put this in N due to this.
Is there a gear shifter light on a Honda Civic?
Honestly, my 8th generation 2009 Honda Civic’s gear shifter does not line up either. I depend on look at the gear selection light to the right of the tachometer. It does not really bother me as long as it indicates the gear in other places. Last Honda I’ve owned before this one was a 2008 Odyssey. The shifter lined up perfectly fine.

How often do I see the D light on my Honda CRV?
Actually, I can also see the “D” pulsing when I am driving, so I know that it is flashing then, as well. This problem started about four months ago and does not occur that often – perhaps once every week, or two. While experimenting with this, I put the car in “2” while stopped with the engine running.
