SINGLE LAMP - LAMP

NOTE: There are two types of single lamp dome lamps available in this vehicle: one with a switch that is activated by depressing the lamp lens, and one without a switch. The bulb types and service procedures are identical for both of these lamps.




1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Insert the tip of a small flat bladed screwdriver into the notch (5) between the lens (2) and the housing (1) on one side of the dome lamp unit.

3. Gently pry the end of the lens outward until it unsnaps from the housing.

4. Swing the lens outward until it is perpendicular to the housing.

5. Pull the lens hinge/retainer end (3) of the housing outward slightly from the headliner, then slide the exposed end of the housing away from the mounting hole far enough to disengage the fixed retainer (4) on the notched end from the headliner.

6. Pull the lamp away from the headliner mounting hole far enough to access and disconnect the wire harness connector from the back of the lamp.

7. Remove the lamp from the vehicle.
