License Plate Lamp - Removal

REMOVAL

NOTE: The following procedure is for replacement of a license plate lamp bulb. The license plate lamps are integral to the liftgate handle and light bar unit. If any part of this unit is ineffective or damaged, the entire handle and light bar unit must be replaced.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Reach under the liftgate handle and light bar unit (2) to access and depress the latch tab (1) on the outboard side of the license plate lamp lens toward the lens (3).
3. Pull the outboard side of the lens downward far enough to disengage the two tabs on the inboard side of the lens from the lamp housing.
4. Remove the lens from under the handle and light bar.





5. Firmly grasp and pull the bulb (2) straight out of the socket (1) in the outboard side of the lamp housing.
