Overhead Console

OVERHEAD CONSOLE






NOTE: The overhead console on vehicles with the Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting package contains three LED units, each with its own dedicated printed circuit board. The two outboard articulating eyeball-type LED reading lamp pod units with their integral lens-actuated switches and printed circuit boards are available for separate service replacement. However, if the fixed center LED unit or printed circuit board is damaged or ineffective, the entire overhead console housing unit must be replaced.

NOTE: On overhead consoles with incandescent reading lamps the switches, bulb holders and wiring harness are serviced only as a unit and are not available individually for service.

NOTE: On vehicles equipped with both a power sunroof and power liftgate the overhead console switches (1 and 2) are serviced together as one assembly.
