Dear,

Can anyone help me to change the transmission bulb of my accord 2008? I just need the first step as I was struggling which part should I take out first? There is silver square which is around the stick, I tried to get out but it was very hard and I afraid to destroy it. Should I remove this part or the big black console around.
I really need your help if you aware of accord 2008

Thanks
Amin

 

Do you mean the automatic trans position indicator panel light in the console.

Details are in shop manual (automanualsource.com download for $22)

It is a rather elaborate procedure to access the panel light. I would live w/o since it's not critical.

good luck

 

1. You just need to pull up the center console panel (the black color piece), which is held in mainly with clips, and then disconnect the power socket connector and heated seat switch connectors (if you have heated seats).

2. Your car is probably an automatic transmission since you mentioned the silver square. The bulb and bulb harness is on the right side, even though it looks like you are located in the UAE.

Center console panel removal

 

Thank you Redbull-1. really appreciate your help, you are right I have an automatic transmission. sorry for bothering but Is that mean I can not pull up the silver square without the whole center console?

 

Thank you Texashonda.

 

There is no need to remove the silver part if you're just changing a bulb.

 

I think removing the silver part is more easy than removing the whole black console part, Am I right? or I am missing something.
Thanks

 

You're incorrect. The black console cover panel would need to be removed first, before you could even safely attempt to remove the silver trim piece without breaking it. It is not even necessary to remove the silver trim piece to replace the bulb.
