Shift lever light bulb change(2004 Jeep Liberty) - You will need a very small flat tip screw driver, a set of tweezers, a "Q" tip, super glue, and a #2 pencil with an good eraser. Carefuly remove the plastic top cover of the center console surrounding the shift lever assembly. It snaps right up from the plastic catches fairly easy and set aside.

A second black plastic cover around the shift lever containing the letters must be released very carefuly by using the flat tip screw driver to separate the 4 plastic catches one at a time. Once released, pull the cover up and turn it 90 degrees counter clockwise, this will expose a thin film strip covering the light socket. Lay the black cover on the base of the shift lever.

Remember how the thin plastic strip is attached to the white frame and lift it to expose the light bulb socket. The light bulb looks similar to Christmas decorating light bulbs. Place a drop of super glue on the "Q" tip, and place it on top of the bulb to be pulled and hold it against it until the glue is dry and pull the bulb out of its socket. (If you use a set of thin pliers, it may brake the bulb inside the socket.

Ensure that the light switch is turned off and also make sure that both wire filaments on the base of the replacement bulb will line up with the socket contacts. Place it so it slides into the socket and with the pencil eraser, push the light bulb firmly into the socket. Test it by turning the light switch on and then reverse the process to re-assemble your shift lever assembly.

There is one illumination bulb to light up the gear shift indicator. Remove the center rear console, then the console around the shift lever, and you will see the wires on the left side that go to the bulb. Twist the small socket and it will come out, then just put in a new bulb.

If the light for the gear shift on the console does not work on a 2002 Toyota Camry, it is probably a burned out bulb. The console will need to come off to access the bulb to change it. This part is held onto the console area by screws.


What does the indicator light second gear start means if not driving in snowy conditions?

It means you left the second gear start switch on.You change the position of the switch to change between normal (light is off) and second gear start (light is on). Turn the switch off, and the light will go off.If you didn't know there was a switch, look for it. I have seen it on the lower left side if the dash (sometimes it just says SGS or 2GS), the center console, as a push-on-push-off button on the shift lever, and as a slide switch on the column shift handle.On a few European cars, moving the shift lever into specified gear positions in sequence while the car is stopped turns second gear start on or off.
