Center Bezel Lamp - Removal

LAMP

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. The center bezel lamp unit (2) is located on the instrument panel center support structure (3), which forms the roof of the center floor console forward storage bin or cupholder compartment. Reach into the bin or compartment and use a small thin-bladed screwdriver to depress the lamp retaining latch on the end of the lamp housing nearest the lens.
3. Pull the lamp down and toward the right to disengage the fixed retainer from the mounting hole.
4. Disconnect the wire harness connector (1) from the lamp connector.
5. Remove the lamp unit from the bin or compartment.
