Floor Shift Control Replacement
Removal Procedure




Place the vehicle on a level surface.
Block the wheels to keep the vehicle from moving.
Apply the parking brake.
Shift the floor shift control into PARK.
Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the ignition key.

Caution
Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.


Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the console. Refer to Console Replacement in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
Remove the IP accessory trim plate. Refer to Trim Plate Replacement - Instrument Panel (I/P) Accessory in Instrument Panel, Gauges and Console.
Disconnect the floor shift control electrical connector.
Disconnect the IP wiring harness retaining clip from the shift control and reposition the harness.



Using a small flat bladed screwdriver or other suitable tool, release the tab retaining the park/lock cable to the slot on the shift control.
Lift the park/lock cable out of the shift control slot and reposition the cable.



Grasp the cable end and pull rearward in order to unlock the cable from the shifter pivot arm stud, then reposition the cable.



Remove the nuts retaining the shift control to the driveline tunnel.
Shift the floor shift control into FIRST. This will lengthen the shift control cable and provide slightly more movement.

Important
DO NOT lift the floor shift control any more than shown, the shift control cable rod end guide tubes are EXTREMELY INFLEXIBLE and capable of only a SLIGHT bend.


Slowly lift the floor shift control JUST ENOUGH to access the shift control cable end. BE SURE the floor shift control remains in FIRST.

Important
Use care to not suddenly jerk either the shift control cable or the floor shift control during disassembly, the shift control cable rod end guide tubes are EXTREMELY INFLEXIBLE and capable of only a SLIGHT bend.


Using a large flat bladed screwdriver, CAREFULLY release the shift control cable end clip from the floor shift control arm stud.



Ensure that the shift control cable is completely disconnected from the floor shift control arm stud.



Remove the floor shift control.
Installation Procedure




Shift the floor shift control into FIRST.

Important
Be sure to position the floor shift control as LOW as possible, the shift control cable rod end guide tubes are EXTREMELY INFLEXIBLE and capable of only a SLIGHT bend.


Lower the floor shift control into position. BE SURE the floor shift control remains in FIRST.
Align the shift control cable end to the floor shift control arm stud.

Important
Use care to not suddenly jerk either the shift control cable or the floor shift control during assembly, the shift control cable rod end guide tubes are EXTREMELY INFLEXIBLE and capable of only a SLIGHT bend.


Position a large pry bar along the side of the driveline support assembly and use as an aid to secure the shift control cable end clip to the floor shift control arm stud.
Seat the floor shift control to the driveline tunnel.

Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.


Install the nuts retaining the floor shift control to the driveline tunnel. Tighten
Tighten the floor shift control retaining nuts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

Verify that the floor shift control and the shift control cable are operating smoothly:
Shift from FIRST to SECOND, then DRIVE and so on; pause for 1 second in each detent position. Take note of an audible sound from the transmission shift lever each time a shift detent is selected.
Shift from PARK directly to FIRST.
Repeat steps 7.1 and 7.2 an additional 2 times.
If any binding is felt during this check, or if no audible sound was produced from the transmission shift lever, remove the floor shift control and inspect the floor shift control and the shift control cable for damage (at either end of the cable).
Shift the floor shift control into PARK.



Install the park/lock cable to the floor shift control pivot arm stud. Align the cable onto the arm stud then pull forward to lock.



Insert the park/lock cable into the slot on the floor shift control. Be sure the cable retaining tab locks into place.

Tighten the negative battery cable bolt to 15 N·m (11 lb ft).

Program the transmitters. Refer to Transmitter Programming/Synchronization in Keyless Entry.
Unblock the wheels.
Release the parking brake.

Caution
Road test a vehicle under safe conditions and while obeying all traffic laws. Do not attempt any maneuvers that could jeopardize vehicle control. Failure to adhere to these precautions could lead to serious personal injury and vehicle damage.


Test drive the vehicle in an area with little traffic; ensure that the transmission will shift smoothly into, and maintain each detent position.

 

Holy crap that's a lot of information...
So all of that to replace a bulb?

 

You need to get the center console off, then the shift boot housing. It looks like a lot, but it is not.

 

takes about 20 minutes to pull it apart if you have a beer in one hand
