Gear knob bulb change
Who says size doesn't matter? After a straight 6 3.0 litre....Its hard to go back .
Re: Gear knob bulb change
The gear knob is supposed to light up?
I have the same on my 3.0 M Sport so l guess l need a new bulb too.

They are prone to shorting & blowing the rheostat for the dash lights as mine did, now disconnected.

Yes it was working, and a couple of days ago i noticed its out. Wiring is fine but no light. I can only assume bulb as everything else is fine lighting wise.

The Bulls in the gearknob are small LEDs and are not replaceable, as Lancsbob has stated the most common failure for these going out is a short in the cable leading to the gearknob, unfortunately this is not a fused circuit and it does take the rheostat inside the light switch out when this happens, are you sure you have dash illumination Alpha 3.0 Z3?
