    I just installed a DIY EV switch from misc stuff I had laying around the garage. Basically just a wire from the ECU to a momentary switch then to ground. It works great and acts just like it should, but I get no EV indicator on the dash. Could it be that mine is burnt out, or maybe it was never there? Its an 05 Pkg 3.

    THANKS!

    We didn't get the indicator in North America. I know I harp on the ScanGauge a lot, but that's the only way I know of to get an indicator.
