There is a 15A fuse supplying the (EFI no.1) circuit which must be burnt because it controls:

  • Transmission Indicator
  • Engine Control
  • Engine Immobilizer System
This has to be your problem, hope this helps

SOURCE: dashboard indicator flicking ie oil light and battery light

Hi !
Please check as to how old the oil is i.e. how many miles have you driven without changing the engine oil. The old oil looses its viscosity resulting in low oil pressure which ignites the lamp.
It will be advisable that in the next oil change you first Flush the engine with a cleaner and then only change the oil along with a new oil filter. This would clean the sump, oil pump and the censors resulting in a smoother drive.
Regards
Berry.

SOURCE: key battery seems dead, car's

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
The alternator can be grounded. I strongly suggest that you have the alternator checked if there are cutted or burnt wires. This can be the reason why it drains the battery.
If the problem still persists then I suggest alternator replacement. If it's worn out it will just drain down the battery because there will be no return of current during the vehicles operation.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Shifter stuck in park

The "brake shifter switch" (brake light switch) is located underneath the dashboard, and links directly to the brake pedal assembly. If you look, you will be able to find the switch. It is the same switch that releases the lock solenoid on your shifter.
If your brake lights are working, it is not the culprit. Check the shift lock solenoid for proper operation instead.

Dashboard lights aren't working when the light

You don't indicate what kind of vehicle you have but my guess is you have a cross feed between the dash light circuit and the ignition circuit. You'll probably have to isolate these two circuits (not an easy task).

these have a safety system so the shifter won`t go into any gear unless the brake is pushed(indicating someone sitting in the drivers seat),if the brake lights aren`t working this indicates that the fuse that operates the shift lock solenoid and brake lights is not working and needs replacing.check the fuses and replace the fuse and things will probably return to normal.

How do i replace the dashboard light bulb for a 1985 el camino

you need to disconnect the speedometer then remove the 6 or 8 screws that hold the instrument panel to the dash.if its an automatic you will have to unhook the shift indicator cable from the shift colume.then pull the instrument panel out of the dash,turn the panel upside down and you will see the bulb sockets.replace all the bulbs at this time so you won`t have to do this again for another bulb.when hooking up the shift indicator cable make sure it indicates the properly selected gear when moving the shifter to each gear position.

We had a similar situation. It took the dealer a few days to figure out it was an issue with the wiring harness(es) in the center console - around or behind the transmission shifter.
