The gear selector light for drive does not come on the dash of your 2000 Corolla when car is in Do you fix this by just replacing a fuse?

No, a blown fuse is unlikely to be the sole cause of the "D" gear selector light not illuminating on a 2000 Corolla's dashboard. While a blown fuse *could* be part of the problem, it's more likely a problem with the light bulb itself, the wiring to the light, or even a fault within the transmission's indicator circuitry.

Replacing a fuse might be a good *first step* in troubleshooting, as it's easy and inexpensive. However, if the fuse is fine, you'll need to investigate further. This could involve:

* Checking the bulb: Access the instrument cluster and visually inspect the bulb. It might be burnt out.

* Checking the wiring: Look for any broken or loose wires connecting to the bulb or the gear selector switch.

* Testing the gear selector switch: This switch sends the signal to illuminate the "D" light. A multimeter might be needed to test its function.

* Instrument cluster issues: Rarely, a problem with the instrument cluster itself (e.g., a faulty circuit board) could prevent the light from working.

In short: While a blown fuse is a possibility, it's not the guaranteed fix. A more thorough diagnosis is needed to pinpoint the actual cause.
