Buzzard67 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. I own a 1990 Reatta. Never owned one before, but love Buicks. First car 1970 Buick Skylark. Still own 1989 Buick Regal Custom coupe. I'm trying to figure out all the little problems with my new car. Idid try checking the fourum before I asked this question. Either I didn't put the right search question or didn't know where to look. 1st- Is there a light that displays the gear positions ( Park, Revers , Neutral , Drive etc. ) and if there is how do I access and replace the bulb ( bulb number ).

Padgett Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Is not a bulb, it is an electroluminecent panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard67 Posted November 9, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Okay ........ I don't know what that means. Is this something that can light up? If it can , could I replace it or even find one? Or is there a wired connection I could trouble shoot? Any pictures would be helpful. Thanking you Edited November 9, 2021 by Buzzard67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzard67 Posted November 13, 2021 Topic Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hello Ronnie. I'm very grateful for the above instructions and photos. But if I'm unskilled and just want to buy the electroluminecent panel where would I be able to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Jim Finn but need to know the 110v module works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I know the '88/89 has a 110 volt system for backlighting, but I thought the '90/91 went to 12 volt. I could be wrong but I've not seen an inverter in the later cars. Where would it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 How is the 91 gearshift dial lit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ship Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The '90 and '91 are 12 volt, no inverter. I personally have never taken apart the console. But, according to www.sylvania.com the "auto trans indicator light" is a bulb and it's #194. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have stored my 1990 Reatta away for the winter but I will check the center council has a light blub or that light strip. I also need to know where to look to repair my gas cap lid. Its stuck open. Thanking you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
