Glove Box Lamp/Switch - Removal

LAMP/SWITCH

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with air bags, 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. Open the upper glove box door.
3. Reach through the window (2) in the upper glove box bin (1) forward of the glove box lamp and switch unit (4) to access and depress one of the retaining latches (5) on the top or the bottom of the switch housing.
4. While holding the retaining latch depressed, push the glove box lamp and switch unit out through the mounting hole in the face of the bin.
5. Disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector (3) from the glove box lamp and switch connector receptacle.
6. Remove the lamp and switch unit from the upper glove box bin.
