Problem with gear indicator

I just finished up an install tonight on a 4th gen. After getting everything put back together we found that the gear indicator next to the AT shifter was no longer lit up. Does anyone have any ideas how all of a sudden this isn't working? Any trouble shooting tips? I checked all fuses, and the harness connecting it. Everything was fine.

n00000000000b.

Are you sure it's not the bulb itself?

I'm guessing thats what it is, but just odd that it happened after the install. Got those screws out in 5 minutes thanks to the best drill bit ever made.

My wonderful Maxima

It was my wonderful maxima that lost gear selector illumination. Besides the light bulb being dead is there anything else that could be the problem.. Just so I dont have to start a new thread about it later . Appreciate any input guys!

If the harness is good (getting power)(which I believe Parag tested) then it can't be anything but the bulb.

Not really, cuz I don't think this issue is related to install at all

8's? RCA's? I'm pretty sure they will fit in the back doors.

Ok so fuses and harness is good.

Why exactly did you stop there and not replace the bulb?
