gear shift selector light

Does anyone know how to get to the light bulb in the automatic transmission gear selector on the steering column?

I read his previous posts and he has a 1991 with a 460. So he either has a F250, 350 or 450 (Super-Duty). It shouldn't matter.

I suspect you gain access from the column below the shifter cowl.

Just follow the harness up the column.

So I have to take the wheel off and disassemble the column then? (These are the metal ones similar to GM columns).

If not, how do I follow the wire after it dissapears into the column?

Thanks

The bulb went out in our company pickup, and they had to replace the whole lever assembly.
