The thing is, I had already started giving it gas as I was shifting, so I think it did something weird. I didnt notice anything strange, but when I looked at the instrument panel, the D light was not lit.

I drove it for a bit, then stopped and turned off the car. I restarted, shifted into all gears while stopped, and checked the dash lights. All shift lights come on when appropriate, except for D.

I have driven it a couple times since then, and the D light still will not come back on.

Does this give anyone any ideas as to what I need to have replaced next in my quest to fix this issue?

-----------------------------------------

I still have the dash issues:
The ABS light is on, and the "D" light does not come on. But it seems they are unrelated items and I need to take care of them separately.
Since all the other indicator lights on the dash work ok, I would still have to go back to the wiring/connector associated with the Mode Selector Switch for the "D" not illuminating on the dash.

It could be something as simple as corrosion on the electrical connector for the switch (although even though the switch has been replaced with a "new" one, that doesn't necessarily rule out the switch itself as having an issue), and it appears as if it would either be the Pink or the Blue/Black wire specifically in the connector. Maybe just disconnecting, cleaning, and reconnecting would be worth a try?
