Today, let's see how to change the automatic gearbox bulb on the Ford Explorer. Lift the armrest, and using a spanner, unscrew the two screws at the end of the centre console to free the plastic around the gearbox.

Once this is done, you will see that on the lower right side connected to a fuse is the bulb; simply disconnect it from its socket, replace it with a new bulb, and reconnect it. At this point, switch on the ignition and check if the bulb works, then reassemble the plastic console and you're done.
