if it is the arrow that points up, then it is the "shift light". It is supposed to come on to tell you to upshift to maximize your fuel economy. Those geniuses at Honda!

hmmm could it be cause i had a autometer gauge and they took it off ??

also this light comes on even before i turn the car on..so i dont see how it could be some sort of shift light.

could be, I don't think it will hurt anything, besides i'm sure you know when to shift. Its right before the car goes BAPBAPBAPBAP!!!!! If it bothers you take the light out of it.

I had that shift light when I first bought my HX.... But now it only lights up before I start the car. It doesnt tell me when to shift.... Not that I need it, but what could have caused it to stop working properly???
