How do you Replace the Shift Indicator Bulb in a 2000 s 70 Volvo?

The rear half(rear ashtray) of the console has to be removed first. Then take the 4 Phillips screw holding the shifter cover out. Lift the cover towards the shift knob, you don't have to takeit all the way off. The bulb is in the small tray next to the shifter shaft. daner@copper.net

Things were slightly different in my 2000 S70 which has a center armrest with cup holders. First pry loose the cover for the handbrake and then pull the cover off the handbrake handle. The entire center housing is held in place by two 8mm bolts. These bolts are hidden under a removable panel located inside the storage box under the center armrest. When you open the armrest box you will see a small tab at the bottom toward the front. The access panel can be removed by placing a screwdriver in the tab and prying gently. The two bolts are under this panel. Once the bolts are removed the entire center console can be lifted up. It is not necessary to completely remove it. The bulb is located on the driver's side of the shift lever in a white plastic housing. science@Joyner.ws
