Dashboard transmission light question!
 

Hello and thank you
English is not my first language and im sorry for any errors but i did not know where to ask this.
I about to buy an automatic FRS through an auction online, i have bought cars like this before and have had no issues but something that is bothering me about this is the dashboard on the car, i can see from the pictures its an automatic with paddle shifters but on the dashboard were other FRS, BRZ have a P for parking always light on and this one does not. Any idea why not? is this a normal problem ?
here are the pictures of what i mean

It doesn't come on when the car is actually running?
I believe it can be turned on and off so if not on when running then check the owner manual to see how to turn it back on.

What is wrong with it that it is an insurance auction? If it is a rebuild and you are asking about something so simple as an indicator light you may be getting in over your head.

I know you can do it on the manuals, where if by default off and you can turn it back on, but i did not know automatics could be turn off, thank you

I checked the owner manual and auto can not be turned off. It will only show up when the car is running though. The picture you show is a car that is not running. Is there a picture of the dash with the car fully turned on?

Since im in san diego, and the car in LA i will check it out in the upcoming days, I was curious because i can see it's an automatic and almost all other lights are on and from what i see on youtube the gear "P" should turn on right on as well too with it, even without the engine running i can see other videos when they key is just in it the "p" is on, thanks and sorry for your trouble :)

Hopefully one of the AT guys will swing by and confirm or deny my switch position theory.

Hopefully!
I think what it is after searching lol its on Neutral, I dont think this car shows whens is in neutral

P, R, N, D all displayed only when the car is running.

EDIT: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,and 6 if you're in manual mode.

My automatic shows the gear even if the car is off

Key pulled?

whats this crap
