Hi,

I have a 2005 Xa with an automatic gear shift. The lights (R, P, D, N, etc...) are out. Sometimes they come on for a few seconds and then go back out so I think the bulb may be loose. I have found topics detailing how to remove the shift plate for the Tc but haven't had any luck finding out how to remove this for the Xa so I can tighten the bulb or change it if I need to. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

 

Are you talking about the one on the dash, or the one on the console/shifter?

If it's the shifter, it's just a bulb... I gotta verify what size it is.

 

^^^Probably a 194 bulb.

 

It's not... IIRC, it's a 74, or something. I replaced mine with a white LED, lemme find the bulb #, plz hold.

 

Okay, here's the steps for changing out the bulb on an xB... xA steps should be almost the same, except for the console removal.

Here's a pic of my shifter now.

Way better, IMO.

 

Not sure how much help this is but I made a guide awhile back on how to remove the center console in my 06 xA. It has pictures so maybe it will help a little:

burst,
that looks bright as hell. I may have to check this out

 

Dude, it's totally worth it. Under $5 bucks.

 

So, I thought I'd update this thread.
My LED started tweaking last night. It's flickering and strobing. I might get a new one and see if it's just the LED going bad, although, I might just leave it out. I don't NEED that to be illuminated.

 

is this the same for a tc, cause my girls car light when out a while back.

 

Not sure.

 

any updates on this? did the bulb tweek out again? has an alternative been found?

Sure is a shame that all the links for how to's on this page are dead. Who's going around deleting the tutorials?
