Toyota Repair: lights on center console, 2002 toyota camry, toyota camry


Question
I have a 2002 Toyota Camry, Automatic. This is a very monor problem, but one that bugs me everytime i get int he car. On the shift console for the auto, there are the gears labels. This is in between the 2 seats. They light up when the lights are on. About 2 months ago, they stopped lighting up. I can not find anything int he manual about a fuse for those lights. All the other lights int he car seem to be working. How do i get these lights to work again.  Hope this make sense.

Answer
The bulb commonly burns out.
You can take the console out. bolts are  under the carpet piece in the storage area of the console. there are also screws on the side of the console and under the shift plate cover.
the bulb socket is under the shifter on the left side. It turns 90 degrees and pulls out. Take the bulb to the dealer or parts store and match one up.
If you go to the dealer you may pay as much as an hour labor. EEECH.
