How do you replace the shift indicator light bulb for the gear selector?

[Threesoaps]

Help I need to change the light bulb in the Gear selector I can not see what gear I am putting it in. I have the assembly I just need to know how to install it.

Welcome to the forum! Im sure if you try using the search button you should be able to pull up something on how to install the new assembly.

Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the lighting section.

The above thread describes how to get to the bulb in my 06 explorer...I'm not sure if your console setup is similar or the same.

When you get to the bulb, you just twist the bulb housing counter clockwise to release it, pull the bulb straight out of the housing...it may take some strength/wiggling...but it pulls straight out. The replacement bulb is #74 from NAPA...it cost around $1.50.

I just did this a few days ago...real easy.

The post directly above yours describes how to do it. This thread is a year old, and that is the only post the OP ever made on this board. I doubt you will get an answer.
