Title: Auto Gear-change bulb.
Post by johnv on Feb 11^th, 2005, 9:01pm

Can any one please tell me, how to change this, do the plates, there is a black one and and wood effect one lift up. I presume they do as there are no screws etc.
Do you sort of very carefully use a screw-driver to level them up.
Another puzzle. Fordparts say there is only one blub and sent me a picture.
But the E. and S. and the icy symbol is lit up alright, on the right, but its the PRNDI2 that is out.
If there is only one bulb why is one side lit up and the other not.
Thanks to anyone who messed around with gear change sellector. before.

Hi there, the black bezel around the gear selector lifts off. It is held in place by four very flimsy pegs and clips so be very careful to lift it as vertically as possible and then there are four bolts under that they are straight forward you will then be able to get to the bulbs in question...

have a look at this it might explain it better

Hi to snoopy, Thanks for the info. its always puts you one step ahead, if you have some idea before hand.
Do you know if there are just one bulb or two please.
I ordered a bulb from Fordparts, they are saying there is only one.
The link here does not work for me it comes up as a error. I suppose its something to do with being on AOL

it still comes up as a error. but thanks to you i got a very good idea now i will lift the black surround very careful like you said and see whats up.
at least with having more than one car you can leave one car you are working on for a while.
but thanks again.
