Default gear shifter indicator light out

I just had a reman engine installed in my 2000 blazer. Now the position light on my cluster that shows what gear I am in no longer lights up. All other indicators and lights work fine.

Could this just simply be an electrical connection issue w/ the tranny?

Any help would be appreciated.

This likely is not a fault of the transmission connections. This is typically a problem with the cluster itself. If you remove the cluster, take a look at the solder joints on the back side of the circuit board. These joints have been known to crack and cause the issues you are experiencing.

Thanks for your quick response.
Honestly, I doubt I'll be tearing my dash apart for this one. This must just be an unfortunate coincidence, because it was working before the engine was installed.
