Centre console - Annoying Noise!

[PsychoRez]

I had this issue and it was driving me nuts. I took it to the dealers and they fixed it within an hour or so. I am extremely happy with the service but i cannot believe Toyota would release these cars without fixing such issues first.

Mine is 2008 btw.

Guys, ever since I took out that centre console. The lights on the gear changer don't turn on. You know the ones where the shifter is, like P R D etc? I have to tap them and then the light turns on. A small inconvenience, does anyone know why its doing this? It happened pretty much after I took out that centre console because of the squeaking.

edit: I'm talking about this:

As you can see its working now, but sometimes I gotta lightly tap that lit up area and the light turns on.

Try removing the bulb from there and see if it is placed properly. The bulb may have accidentally come loose from the socket in the process of removing the trim.

Also, even though this probably isn't the cause since you have narrowed it down to the bulb area, check the connectors indicated in the following photo. The smallest one is the power for the bulb. It wouldn't hurt to check this just in case.
