Gear indicator fix? (automatic tranny)

[Brian VT]

I dropped my steering column to mess with the ignition and didn't disconnect the gear indicator cable first.
It's still attached up in there but I guess I damaged the return spring? Anyone had the instrument panel apart to know if I can get in there to try to fix this without damaging something else?
Here's a pic that I got off the web that shows the cable that I'm posting about:

By now you should have figured out your problem.
If you remove the two bolts holding the indicator in the dash, you will find it has a spring to the "P" position.
Research a "PRNDL Indicator" for your truck. You should be able to find a new one to stuff in there.

Thank you.

Great to know I can replace it. I got a broken cable on a cluster I'd like to use. Cable snapped in half. Or the guy wo got the column and spedo(with tach) broke it. Add it to the list of projects I don't have time for.
