    The PRNDL by the shifter no longer illuminates. Is this a common problem? An easy fix?

    Happens occasionally on mine. I just hit the gear indicators with a closed fist a couple times to let it know I mean business and it usually turns back on.

    There is a small bulb under the PRND2L. You will need to remove the shifter console to see it. I believe it's a "74" bulb. A Phillips screwdriver and maybe a 10mm socked and a ratchet is all you should need to get to the bulb.
