Gear Slector Light Burnt out; Volvo 740 GL

Post by Volvo4251 »

Hi,

I just noticed today that my gear selector is not lit up when i have the headlights switched on. I am pretty sure it isnt a fuse, as most of the bulbs are working inside the car. What is the process that I need to go about to change the bulb?

It won't be a fuse as the light is connected to the instrument panel/switch lights.

Remove the ashtray and the centre console panel in front of the selector. Two screws secure the left hand half of the selector cover - one screw at each end of the brush. Remove them and lift off the half of the cover. You will then see the bulb and holder.
