Wiring questions

I don't know if it matters but I just had some 12 gauge wire laying around and I plugged it in and I got no light still.

I bought a roll of 16 gauge wire but I just wanted to try it out on spare wire first.

The light bulb looks fine but maybe I can try to buy a new light bulb.

Sorry I'm having a hard time giving up on this as a light on the console sounds really cool.

Just to confirm if I have my Park lights on and/or my headlights on the console light lights up?

And it doesn't matter whether it's in park or drive correct?

Thanks

Parking lights or headlights should have power on the orange feed... Is the light grounded?

Is the light grounded?

The light grounds through the shifter.  If you have it disconnected, it isn't going to light.  You can check for power at that orange plug with a test light.  You should have power with parking light or headlights.

Randy, does the shifter light dim with the dash lights?  I don't remember.

If the shifter light dims with the dash lights, then play around with the headlight switch.  You might have the lights turned down really low/off.

We are golden gentlemen.  I didn't have it grounded. 

Sorry that one took so long but it works!!!!

Funny how a small victory like that really motivates me.
