follow this link and then zoom in to like 400 percent on the tach, look under the number 4...what is the arrow for?!

Dude, it's a reflection off of the number 4.

no its not! go out and look, i saw it when i was driving the other day! the sun was shining behind me and it illuminated it...look again! i promise! it is on my mustang, and i just want to know what its for!

Two words - Owners Manual.

I will take a look when I go out to my car later today. It is indeed an "Up Arrow" below the 4. Maybe a deactivated shift light??? I have never seen it lighted on my GT and I have 80K on the odometer.

It's an upshift light, for when you are in cruise control with a manual.

kcmarti

Upshift, cruise control, manual? I have all of those and have never seen it lighted. I guess if I set cruise at 90 MPH in fifth, then hit the brakes, shift into second and hit resume, the arrow will light - telling me to shift??? As if the engine revving wouldn't clue me in. I may have to try that just to see if if works.

I can't see it below the 4000. Only the reflection above it.

conrader

man, now i'm really curious...i did look at the owners manual and i didnt see it in there, but maybe i missed it! i would love to see it light up just to see what the hell its for! if you figure it out for sure let me know!!! thanks guys!

This is a shift light that works in the GT500's. There is some question as to what is exactly in the GT - whether there is a bulb, wiring, etc. etc.? Anyone torn their gauge cluster apart? If there is a bulb and wiring it could conceivably be worked into a tune..??..

conrader

i would love for that to be the case...i definitely like things that light up...if you figure it out let me know! how could you work it into a tune?
