D4 Light
I have 93 Honda Prelude. While driving this afternoon, the indicater light (the one telling me I was in D4) started blinking. The car still ran fine. No noises, etc; however the blinking of the light concerned me. I down shifted into D3, and the D4 light remained blinking while the now D3 indicator light was now lit, for I was in that gear. I parked, the light continued to blink. I turned off the engine and restarted. All seemed to be fine for several minutes, but after I drove for about a mile, it happened again. So, being a mile from home, I continued. But what problem could cause this indicator light to blink?
Thankyou

The light flashes because the bulb is bad? That wouldn't make any sense. Anyway, I did a search, and I think this thread might help:

if a buld is starting to go out it can do that yes. i didn't say burnt out. the filament<sp> starts to lose the ability to hold together but the electricity can still get through a little bit cause it to blink
but your link is much better

I think that would be better described by flickering and not blinking.

Re: (InvaderTrax)
Thankyou for the research,
I am going to take the Honda to a friend of mine and have him look at the computer. It was very helpful.

For those who want to know, the problem turned out to be a senson that went bad on the transmission. It was a quick fix once the part came.
