Instrument Cluster Bulb

CLUSTER BULB
This procedure applies to each of the incandescent cluster illumination lamp or indicator bulb and bulb holder units. However, the illumination lamps and the indicators use different bulb and bulb holder unit sizes. They must never be interchanged. Be certain that any bulb holder removed from the electronic circuit board is reinstalled in the correct position.

CAUTION: Be certain that any bulb and bulb holder unit removed from the cluster electronic circuit board is reinstalled in the correct position. Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the instrument cluster; the electronic circuit board and/or the gauges.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument panel.
