Shifter Position Indicator
Just wondering if the PRND321 indicator is suppose to light up at night with the rest of the interior illumination. Mine has not since I purchase the car and I didn't want to tear the console apart without knowing. If it does in fact light up, what is the bulb number? Sorry if this is a repost.

Something you can check that's easy to get to before you go tearing into the dash.
The module on top of the transmission where the linkage attaches has two plugs that come out the side (it's a flat black box that bolts down around the linkage shaft). The large one controls your backup lights, etc. The smaller one is the one that has 4 wires, and is your "Range" switch that tells the computer and dash panel what gear your selecting. That's where the signal originates. Just make sure it's plugged in solidly and look to see that the wires are intact before going further. When that plug is disconnected, the lights on your dash go out. Could be just the bulb(s) in your dash, but it's easier to get to the Module on top the tranny first.

Pull up on the shifter console part. Its not hard to remove. There will be a bulb and wire going to the center of the PRD321

Yes, there is a 194 bulb in there, and it actually can fall out of the plastic clip it snaps into pretty easily. Just take off your gear shifter handle (its held on by a staple on the front of the shifter), and pull up on the bezel. The part will pull up.

Ok, so I took the top of the console apart at lunch and found the bulb. It looks like some IDIOT took the console apart at one time or another and ripped the positive wire out of the harness. So, I replaced the bulb and reattached the wire. Now it lights up like it should! Thanks for all your help!

Although that is good to know as well, I rarely look at it when I change gears since the dash already offers you a selection right in front of you. Also, most of us change gears by simple memory nowadays, right?
