    Default 97 Calais: Auto Gear Shift bulb/light

    No light showing in the auto gear select consul; makes it hard @ night for checking which gear you're in. Can anyone help? Thanks

    pull your ashtray out, then use abit of force to lift the peice around the gear shifter, it pulls straight up, then grab the bits of plastic around the gearshifter and pull them away( has P, D,R,1,2,3 on it), then ull be able to get to the bulb to disconnect it

    The bulb is a T10 wedge, you can buy them at SCA or anywhere else that sells globes. Probably even your local servo. It will come out, its a tight fit. It just pushes in and out, do NOT twist it. If you cant grip it, grab a bit of fine sandpaper and try to grip it with that and just pull.

    The biggest risk is breaking the bulb off and leaving the base still inside the socket, but if you do you can usually dig that out with a precision screwdriver or something fairly easily.
