How do you change the automatic transmission gear indication light in console of a 1997 Geo Prizm having trouble getting all covers off to get access bulb?

To change the Gear Indication Light in a console of a 1997 Geo Prizm, follow these steps:

1. Locate the Light. The gear indicator light is usually located in the center console of the car, just behind the gear shifter.

2. Remove the Bezel or Trim. To remove the bezel or trim around the light, you may need to use a flat-head screwdriver or a pry tool. Be careful not to damage the bezel or trim.

3. Locate the Light Bulb. Once the bezel or trim has been removed, you should find the light bulb. It is usually a small, incandescent bulb.

4. Replace the Light Bulb. To replace the light bulb, simply unscrew the old bulb and screw in the new bulb. Make sure the new bulb is the same size and type as the old bulb.

5. Reinstall the Bezel or Trim. Once the new light bulb has been installed, you can reinstall the bezel or trim around the light.

6. Check the Light. Test the light to make sure it is working properly.

Tips:

* If you have trouble removing the bezel or trim, you can try using a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive holding it in place.

* If you have trouble finding the right light bulb, you can take the old bulb to an auto parts store and ask for assistance.
