wheel, alot easier than messing around with the cluster with it in place. If you follow my instructions be advised that you should leave the battery unhooked for 1/2 and hour on 93 and earlier cars and 5 seconds on the newer cars before doing any work around the airbag and this includes detaching the srs harness from the dash cluster as well. It is only the Shift Selector that has gone dark and you can still see it is displaying correctly if you look real hard. It just isn't illuminated. I really hope it is just a bulb. EVERYTHING else on the dash is displaying OK.
