I need to replace the light for my gear shift under the shifter.

Could be a bad brake light switch or the solenoid itself or wiring. See if brake lights work. If they don't then check brake light fuse, if thats ok then check at the brake switch for power or jump the two wire plug lights should light and shifter work unless solenoid bad. Good luck

It's located inside the transmission so you'll have to drop the transmission pan for access. The attached document goes over removing the pan and identifies the solenoid.

Good luck. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_id=6901

Forgot a wire that hooks to either ground or positive terminals. might have dropped out of site while swapping out batteries.

is it connected properly? if so check your fuses and see what is blown.

you need to hook up with a scan tool that will read body and transmission codes. sounds like a solinoid control issue inside the transmission.

What you can try is to remove the shift cables from the transmission side. then move the shifter and see if everything is free if it's still sticks then the cables are going to be replaced. if everything is moving with the cable off. then you need to remove the shift tower on the tranny (where the shift cable is I belive it's 5 bolts) remove the tower and you will see the shift pin. Inside the tower there is a cotter pin that breaks and that will cause you to have one gear and unable to selected another gear. If you are not mech inclined I would no attemped the shift tower repaire, the cables do it will save you money. The shift tower has bushings that can fall into the tranny.

sounds like you have bent something underneath or broke a support bracket

slide the lower part of shifter handle down and you will find two screws, but there is 2 wires coming in from center console for overdrive button.you have to remove the center console cover and remove the 2 wires from connector and then pull up threw handle.when you go back together you will have to guide them back threw the handle.

Open the gear motor on the left hand side of the telelscopic assembly. Take the plate off held by 4 philips screws. Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolt holding the platic gear. Remove plastic gear and insert the reverse way. Over the years, one side of the gears get worn out.

The fuel filter is located under the vehicle on the left side before the rear axle.
