Missing shift indicator

I have a 1998 Taurus SE. It has a center console shifter. There is supposed to be an indicator in the instrument cluster that shows the currently selected position.
(P R N D 2 1) That area of the instrument cluster is completely dark. I cannot see any indicator at all.

I'm hoping that someone can tell me what might be wrong. Is this a bulb? Or, some electronic device?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I thought the only gear indicator with the console shift in 1998 was next to the shift lever, not in the instrument cluster. It's been awhile since I've owned a 1998 Taurus SHO, but I don't remember any gear indicator in the instrument cluster. Are you sure that display is supposed to work with the console lever rather than just with the column shift lever?

I'm not certain. I see the indicator in the owner's manual. Perhaps that is for the column shift model only?

Can someone who has a 1998 Taurus with a console shifter confirm this?
