This isnt real techy, but again.. where else should I post it.

How do I get to the light bulb under the shifter indicator (console) to replace it? I'm not yet experienced with tearing up the console, so any easy method to get to it, before I go foolin around with it?
 
1) remove ashtray, 2) remove two screws, 3) remove U-clip that holds shifter handle on to shifter rod and remove shifter handle,
4) lift console plate up and set aside 5) remove two screws that hold a 7 window plastic plate down and remove plate 6) lift the back side of side shifter rod trim out of its rail 7) there should be a square cavity that holds the light socket, twist the light socket and remove, 8) light pulls straight out, replace or diagnose 9)installation is in the reverse sequence.

Just did it this past weekend, the positive wire to the socket broke, so mine needed soldering.
 
Thanks a lot! Not sure what the problem is yet, I just know it's dead. Luckily I know where the shifter positions are in the dark anyway, but I just like to have it lit up. Most likely its just a dead bulb. Thanks again.
