Appreciate all the help. I just looked in the Service Manual wiring diagram and don't see any indicator light wiring in the speedo for "6th Gear". Now I'll really hit you with some strange stuff. I can go in and do a set up to read the trouble codes (DTC) by having start/run switch in run, holding trip reset button down, and turning key on to ignition, this momentarily turns on all indicator lights and needle makes a full sweep before the "Diag" message comes on.... well gues what light comes on in the speedo during this process............you guessed it, the 6th Gear indicator light comes on bright and green. I'm pretty well confused at this point. Never had the light up to this point, don't expect I'll have it any time soon.
thanks all
