How does the inside panel sign of the shifter in the automatic transmission work?

[Edit]

Answer

I need more info to even try this one. Anyone else???

Answer

If you're referring to a floor or steering wheel column console it works the same way. The orange light or needle you see is attached to the instraument that changes the transmission gears in some form or another so it's not actually "receiving a signal" just following the lever or piece of metal that moves in order to communicate with the driveshaft and the P, R, N, D, 3, and 2 are positioned/displayed in a way that will follow where correct positioning would exist.

The lighted readout at night only causes such to light because it has LED glow ups installed that are switched on automatically upon turning on your headlights.
