Excellent solution. Definitely try this before replacing the part since LED lights rarely give way. It took only 30 minutes max, including opening and closing the gear shift outer panels. You will need to see videos on how to open the gear shift panel elsewhere. It is not at all difficult. I am a novice and was skeptical, but managed to figure it out without any difficulty. Thank you!
Thanks for the reply, I wanted to show the teardown but was pressed for time and had other waiters. I'm very happy you were able to fix the concern yourself. Good Job.
I have a 2019 crosstrek that also won't light up. Took it apart to inspect it & There's power but LED doesnt turn on. On mine the LED has 4 soldering spots. The resistors look ok. How does a bad LED look ?

Good Job.
Thanks for making this vid. Have the same year Outback and the whole shifter tree won't light up. Gonna give this a go.
