Default Gear indicator does not move

The gear indicator on my auto C6 does not move, the shifter is ok

Been like this since I bought it, original owner had color matched boot put on there and thinks that is culprit

Never been an ordeal, in fact I never even look down at it anyway but wife will drive it every blue moon and be nice for it to work I guess

How much of an issue is it to repair this

This thread will show you how to remove the console and post #18 will tell you what your looking for with the indicator. If you haven't disabled the shifter pawl I would suggest doing that while your there also.

When reinstalling the boot, the installer forgot to insert the orange button or may have broken it removing the OEM boot. You won't know until you open it up.
