Here is a strange one.   I decided to take the shifter console off to give it a new coat of black paint.  I noticed the bulb for the heater switch and the bulb for the shifter console needed to be replaced.  I'm having issues with the bulb for the shifter console.  I tried a couple new #1895 bulbs and could not get to work.  When I take the bulb out and put a test light to the socket I get juice.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Maybe not enough juice?

Electrical problems on Corvettes are almost always a ground problem.  First see if a test light works if you go from the bulb socket center electrode to a known good ground.  If not, you have an open circuit before the socket.  If yes, you have a ground problem.  Just work backwards from there until you find it.
