At night is the P N R D suppose to be lighted? Don't think mine is at night, seeing if this is normal or if there is a light out.
The indicator on the dash works fine.

Yea I was a bit confused why there was no light. I swore there was before.

I'm very acquainted with removing the panels now as I have ripped it apart a few times for stereo installs.

I pop out the cup holders and surely enough there was the harness I forgot to put back. Ill be removing the entire thing to install some headrest screens/dvd so the labor is not wasted.

How do you remove the gear console on a 2002? I don't seem to be able to get mine off to swap out the burnt gear bulb. Is there a site for an online manual with instructions?

Oh yea I fixed this no problem. When I was doing a full stereo amp install and ran hella wires I forgot to plug the harness back in.

You have to remove the shift *****. The 4WD selector is just twist counter clock wise. The main shifter you pop down the piece on the bottom to reveal 2 philips screws. remove than shifter should come out.

Then pop out the cup holder, and youll see more visible philips screws. After that pry/pop the console out.

SIMPLE.

as for the GAUGE CLUSTER DASH, 2 philips, I believe, then pop out.

no manual needed really. Straight forward.

Thumbs up Thanks for asking!

I just bought my 2002 Monterro Sport, and noticed it was out. Although I didn't know if it wa s out, or if it was a cost reduction, since there is a gear-inidcator light on the dash as well! I will have to try this this weekend!

You know, even my ashtray has a night light, and even though I don't smoke, I like that it's there.

I just thought I'd share that for the heck of it. Happy Mother's Day everybody!
