so I have a 2003 Sedan and I can't remember if the "P R N D" used to light up on the shifter plate? If so, it's out now...what's the replacement bulb and can I get under it with just removing the plate or do I have to remove the whole center panel?

Thanks, i just know the dealer will stick it to me!

 

Yes the shifter plate is supposed to light up. I'm not sure on the process of replacing the light (or even whether it's a bulb or LED soldered to a circuit board). You can try to do a search for "shifter light" and see what results you get.
