My A/T shift lever light is out in the console?

Well most of the cars the lights they do light up on center console. To make sure remove the center console if their light bulbs and dont light up just replced them

remove the plastic cover of the shifting lever then you will see a magnetic switch you can cancel it or replace it.

Dores the 09 corolla have a bulb or is it an electrical thing under the gear shift console?

That is a very tough bulb to replace. Once you get the center console pieces out of the way there should be a couple of screws or blots that hold down the trim around the gear shift. Remove those and lift gentley. You will barley be able to access the bulb. but it can be done.

If it's a flood shift under the pad where it reads P-R-N-D-2-1 will be a small light bulb under that, your will have to remove the shell to get to it, not very hard job to do.

The light is mounted on the left side of the shift consol, but you will have to remove the consol to get at it

If brake pedal sensor is bad, then lever cannot be taken out of Park unless you depress the shift lock near base of shift lever - pop off small rectangular tab to access.

Burned out brake light bulbs will not affect the shifting.

OK, I just did the job-Replaced the burnt out light bulb in the center console for the shift indicator on a 95 Corolla. Took about two hours of which 11/2 hrs was wasted time. Once you pry off the cover, which is best done with a screw driver front the front as the back is the semi-spring loaded clasps, you will see the shift indicator box. Look around the edges, just below the top and you will see four tabs. If you push or manipulate the tabs to release the lid you will find the bulb in the indentation on the drivers side. The bulb is in that indentation. It is a pull out push in type bulb (148?). Pull it out; put a new on in and put the parts back together. You may want to test before closing the box but remember the light only comes on when you have you headlights on-Must be in the dashlight system. Took me less than ten minutes to put all the parts back together including the ones throughout the console cover which did not need to come out in the first place.
