Gear selector illumination?

[2003TLC]

Hi guys,

The gear indicator on the dash cluster works fins, but the gear positions (P, R, N, etc) don't illuminate on the shifter bezel. I assume they are supposed to. Anyone know where to bulb is for this and how to get to it?

thanks!

A quick search gave me this.....

I have a 2004 and my shifter bezel and transfer case bezel both unscrew in order to access below this panel. I think in the older models only the t-case bezel unscrews and the gear selector will lift off with the panel. Don't forget to reach under and disconnect the heated seats and "pwr/2nd".

Plenty more info and pics if you do a search.

That's where I remember seeing it! Couln't figure out where to search. Gunney's thread has the pics to go along with the directions. Nice job, Gunney!
