Hi Friends,
The subject line says it all.
I posted a discussion here about an hour ago: 2009 smart fortwo passion cabriolet: REAR LIGHT BULBS

Afterwards I went to leave for an errand. The car turns over fine but won't get into gear.
There is no error light on the dash.

Is this perhaps related ? What else could it be ?

Thanks for any comments.

Dear Friends,
The rear right light on my smart is not working, no illumination or turn signal.

There are two bulbs in the bulb carrier within the rear lamp housing unit.
The top bulb does light but the bottom "back up light" doesn't.

I examined both bulbs and they seem different.
Alas, before I could jot down the lower bulbs specs, I lost the burned-out lower bulb when it fell through the bottom of the rear lamp housing unit.

The top bulb is 12 V 21/5 W
What are the specs on the bottom bulb ?

Thank you very much!

Does it show what gear range the transmission is in in the cluster display?

Thank you, great suggestion.
Unfortunately, I did not observe the cluster display while attempting to get the car into gear.

Fortunately, after Qaswaa sat all night, she got right into gear the following day and continues very well.

CASE CLOSED

That’s good news.
