> Sorry I'm actually off topic, it's actually a larger Honda with a manual clutch, but I know you guys and felt more comfortable asking here. It was working when I went into an intersection, I shifted from first to second and got into neutral (1-N-2-3-4-5) and then panicked and shifted into second without applying clutch. Roared out of there but ever since the light is on all the time. Perhaps I cracked the actual switch or otherwise jammed it on. Do to it happening like that I doubt it is a short, but I it is possible.
