Can the annoying green arrow be deactivated?

[Grenadekid]

Different people are annoyed about different things ...

Some people can't stand squeaks in cars, some hate {HATE!} dangly things off the rear view mirror, mucky windscreens .. etc etc etc ....

But i have to say ...

The GREEN shift light on mine ...

DRIVES ME F***ING NUTS ... I HATE IT ....

It's not practical at all to shift when it comes on ... Whenever i see a flash of GREEN on any dashboard, i assume i have left the indicators on !!!
Flicky Flashy Lights on Dashboards are a swine [for me] to ignore at best of times, but GREEN ... Indicators !?
Leaving indicators on is Capital F' Dangerous at any time, in any motor, but on a bike it's asking to DIE !

Bike ? WTF's he on about ?? ... Iv'e got a Suzuki Thou Motorbike, which has a GREEN idiot light on the dash, to tell you when your in 6th Gear ...
It does the same thing to me [but at least it doesn't flash / flicker like the tranny shift light !!] ... I hate that too

I seem to remember reading .. that Ford can disable the shift light through the computer hook up whatsit at the dealers ?

Mine's going in for service soon, so i'm gonna get em to disable it ... I HATE's IT's .. I DO !!!

So i guess the answer to the orig' post ... is ... Yes, I Think It Can Be !

Easy up m8 or they will be replacing your head gasket. I think you might have an ocd about that light

I hope so for the sake of your health!

I work for Ford and asked the question.......................

I`ve never been asked to turn the transit one off,but i asked about it on a Kuga for a friend as was told not possible

I agree tho it is annoying,can`t remember seeing it in Car config parameters,and if it is there nobody`s doing owt with it at the minute till they sort i.d.s.

My IDS updated itself on Friday , anyone know if the "download car config " bug is now fixed ?

played with car config today. we got some special patch with more options too apparently. definately no option to turn the arrow off.

I had a car and if you put the foot down in any gear it would light up green then yellow and red on the rev gauge

I want to see what colour was after red it was a orange light of an engine

We can play with car config again very nice .. I couldnt activate cruise control though on Guy88's 110.- any tech retrofitted cruise and managed to activate it ? maybe its only an option when you install a new bcmii unit ( body control module)
