Dome/Map/Cargo Light
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Remove the bulb from its retaining clip contacts. If the bulb has
tapered ends, gently depress the spring clip/metal contact and disengage
the light bulb, then pull it free of the two metal contacts.
To install:
-
Before installing the light bulb into the metal contacts, ensure
that all electrical conducting surfaces are free of corrosion or dirt.
-
Insert the bulb into the holder. If the contacts have small holes,
be sure that the tapered ends of the bulb are situated in them.
-
To ensure that the replacement bulb functions properly, activate
the applicable switch to illuminate the bulb which was just replaced. If
the replacement light bulb does not illuminate, either it is faulty or
there is a problem in the bulb circuit or switch. Correct as necessary.
-
Install the cover until its retaining tabs are properly engaged.
-
Connect the negative battery cable.
Instrument Cluster Light BulbsThe instrument
clusters installed on these models are one of 2 types and distinguished
by the instrument lighting color, either green or blue.
On models
with green instrumentation, only the control light bulbs are
replaceable. Should any other failure occur, the instrument cluster must
be replaced.
On models with blue instrumentation, none of the
components are replaceable. Should a failure occur, the instrument
cluster must be replaced.
Map Lights
