The light on the floor console
You talking abou the light on by the shifter? that looks like this - & +?

The only light that shows what gear I'm as in; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ect, in is on the dash with the oil gauge. But I don't know how to change it out.

If its the one by your feet that mazda sells and some people use after market ones I don't know. But if its the one on the shifter next to the handle. Remove the handle, wait, Do you have a service manuel? if not PM me.

Heya Dominion,
I took your advice, opened up the sfhifter console, and found that the shifter lights were simply unplugged. It appears the last time the mech was in there, he left forgot to connect this connector. Shifter Console Lights now work.

Thanks!!!
