Disabling the Shift light
Does anybody know if there is a way to disable the shift light on an '07 5-speed? That thing drives me freakin' crazy. It's that stupid orange light that passengers from the back seat keep asking, why's that light keep coming on on your dash? I tell them...Hummer doesn't think people who spend 30 grand on a manual transmission vehicle know when to switch gears. IDIOTS.

Yep, we're all idiots, so I guess this idiot can't explain what to do. Really too bad other idots on this forum, are not smart enough to know this idiot light is for CAFE requirements.
Well, this idiot has to get....

Re: Disabling the Shift light
Requirements or not, the question was if anyone has any useful advice as to disabling, is this something my dealer can reprogram, is there an accessible plug, do I have to disassemble the whole dash to take out the indicator light bulb...I appreciate any helpful answers.

I guess you didn't understand my reply. So, have fun disassembling the cluster.

Re: Disabling the Shift light
I say f*ck all the talk about idiots. There is no very good reason for the shift light. I don't think the light is a CAFE reqruirement specifically. What it does allow GM to do is claim a higher EPA gas mileage rating for the vehicle with the lame light, in order to meet overall fleet CAFE requirements.

Re: Disabling the Shift light
I know the shift light is supposed to help you get better mpg, but it wants you to shift at barely 3000 rpm. With the I-5 that makes for very poor acceleration.
I don't even notice it anymore. Give it some time navigator, you will be able to block it out soon enough.
