Default Ford Factory shift light?

I noticed on my cluster today, right under my tach, a little up arrow all by itself....never lit up before. Is it a shift light or what!?

i do not know about what arrow you are talking about exactly, maybe a pic could help me because there is no factory shift light to my knowledge.

Well if it lights up as you approach the redline, that's got to be it.

I noticed that arrow very early in my ownership. In three years of owning the car, I haven't been able to light it up. I've even had the engine wound up pretty high... I wasn't exactly focused on my gauges at that point though. I looked for it in the manual and it's not there, so I'd like to know too.

" ... about 23,200 ... " Maybe it would be easier to just post it here? Easier for others, I mean.

alright, i noticed the arrow that you are talking about, but i have never seen it light up ever before. I have gotten "on it" pretty hard a few times and have not seen it light up. I am going to have to go to my instruction manual in my glove box and see if it tells me what it is.

My car redlines well beyond 6000 rpm and nothing has ever lit up on my dash.

It's not in the manual, I can't find ANYTHING via google, and my engine is mad at me for pushing it so hard and it STILL WON LIGHTUP. All i know is that it lights up yellow :/ Thanks ford

Found it...after days of searching.

In the GT500, you can program shift points via the car, and you can use that light as a warning -_-


Thanks ford...for NOT giving it to us lol
