2005 F-150 Shifter Position Light
Hello,

This question is for my dad but he has a 2005 F-150 CrewCab Lariat truck and the gear selector light on the shifter has went out. Figured I would ask here how you get to it to replace it before I check it out tomorrow evening. Thanks guys!

The bulb is a 168. To replace it open the center console and then pop the plastic trim around the shifter up by inserting a flat tipped screw driver in the hole that the center console lid latches into. The bulb is inside a white holder that is released by turning it 1/4 turn.
