Without knowing what car you have I couldn't say for sure but from my experience most cars with the indicator above the steering column it is caused by a broken nylon string that attaches from the indicator and the shift rod. These do not wear out often, most of the time it is caused by inexperienced people dropping the steering column or replacing the column. If it is not detached at the correct time in the sequence when working on a steering column it will definitely break the nylon cable.

To adjust the drive or gear indicator on the steering column of a 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera, first, ensure the vehicle is in park and turned off. Carefully remove the steering column cover to access the gear indicator mechanism. Locate the adjustment screw or tab connected to the gear indicator, and align it with the correct gear position as indicated on the shift lever. Reassemble the column cover and test the indicator to ensure it accurately reflects the selected gear.

The gear indicator on your vehicle's dashboard may show the wrong gear due to a malfunction in the transmission sensor or wiring. This can cause the indicator to display incorrect information about the gear the vehicle is in. It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue.
