The light that shows which gear you are in, on the transmission hump, has burned out. Is there an easy way to get under the indicator panel and replace the lamp?

You will have to remove the console gear cover to get to light. Here are the instructions on how to do the job. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Use a small standard screwdriver to pop the cover off, and then you can get to the bulb. You may need to remove the shifter mounting bolts to help gain access.
