There is no screen that shows what gear your in, just look down by the gear selector handle, it's at the base of it...

the handle that you move to take it out of park doesnt light up... i turn on my lights... my gauges light up... where is select 4h or 4l that small handle, they light up.... but the big handle where you take her out of park and put her in drive there is a screen beside it that shows what gear your in... it doesnt light up... does that make stuff more clear

Pull on the trim with the screen on it, it should pop off fairly easy then there will be a wire going to that piece and at the end of the wire you should see the bulb, pull that out and replace it.
