A friend of mine just got a used 06 Gt and he said when the sun hits the tach guage just right you can see the indention of an arrow shaped light right in the top center of the guage. Just like the shift light on the shelby. I havn't looked on my 05 yet but he's wonder if this is a shift light and can it be activated.

 

This was an ideal they once had but never put it in the final design. Only the GT500 have a shiftlight.

 

Ya...the provision for the light is there, but it was never installed/activated.


Thanks goodness.

 

Turns out its an 05 but Im sure it doesnt make a difference.

 

Who needs a shift light anyway right? WOT shift it just before the limiter kicks in!

 

There is a spot on the face for a light, but there is no light behind it.

 

That's kinda like me sometimes.... I'm ready for the weekend.

 

Ford just did us a favor. If there would've been a shift light, we'd be all thinking of ways to deactivate it.

 

i have a raptor shift light.

 

Whatcha want, a cookie

 

yea the little arrow is there...like right under the 4000 rpm mark...i know its there because they r activated on the cars in canada

 

Do you have any idea why the upshift arrow is active on Canadian cars? Is it regulatory for some reason?

 

Uhhhhh, I have an 05 GT and it's not activated. I live in Canada. Guess you got some wrong info.
