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



It is tricky to find, i made a quick video to show the location to help clear up any confusion

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.

I've been procrastinating on fixing mine but you've taken the guess work out of it! Mine is WAY off. Great post!

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)
