PRND21 pointer fix
Are you tired of seeing your pointer in the wrong place, here's a quick fix for you



Look under the dash at the lower side of the steering column and you see this black adjuster



Pinch it and spin it until the pointer is in the correct place

Nice! Mine is broken for sure I think.. My park is actually pointing to the R. It broke out of no where one day when I shifted into park.. it just would not go all the way. It goes through all the gears fine but its just one over on all of them.. weird I know.

Would that be the same gear that they tell you to adjust when you install a body lift? Im pretty sure it is. Ill try it tomorrow though.

if it is alittle off, the adjustment will help, but if it is way if the little tabs are probly broken (a very common problem) only problem is you can buy the little white bracket you have to buy the whole freaking indicator..... 35 bucks i think (thats what i got mine for when i worked at ford)
