Jaime, One more question and I then I will shut up.
After lifting the wood console cover I removed the three bolts holding down the PRNDL plate and lifted it up in search of the bulb, as there was none visible. Is this step necessary, or is the bulb holder externally mounted on the shifter housing? I don't recall seeing this.
