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.
