Bulb replacement

REPLACING EXTERIOR BULBS

Note:

Lens fogging can occur under certain atmospheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor. Turning the lamps on will usually accelerate the clearing process.

FRONT LOW/HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP, TURN SIGNAL/PARK LAMP, AND SIDE MARKER LAMP

1. Open the hood.

   Note:

   It may be necessary to remove the air cleaner filter housing and position the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) aside to replace certain lamps in the left headlamp housing.

2. Rotate the applicable bulb and connector assembly a quarter turn counterclockwise and remove the assembly from the headlamp housing.

   

   Headlamp Housing

   1 — Front Turn Signal/Park Lamp Bulb

   2 — Side Marker Lamp Bulb

   3 — Low Beam Headlamp Bulb

   4 — High Beam Headlamp Bulb

3. Disconnect the bulb from the harness connector and then connect the replacement bulb.

   CAUTION:

   Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers. Oil contamination will severely shorten bulb life. If the bulb comes in contact with any oily surface, clean the bulb with rubbing alcohol.

4. Install the bulb and connector assembly into the headlamp housing and rotate it a quarter turn clockwise to lock it in place.

FRONT FOG LAMP

Note:

Turn the steering wheel to the right if replacing the left front fog lamp or to the left if replacing the right front fog lamp to allow for easier access to the front of the wheel well.

1. Remove the fasteners retaining the front lower wheel well access panel and remove the access panel.

2. Remove the electrical connector from the fog lamp housing.

3. Squeeze the two tabs on the side of the bulb socket and pull straight out from the fog lamp.

   CAUTION:

   Never introduce leaded fuel to the tank, even in small amounts in an emergency, as this would damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.

4. Install the replacement bulb and connector assembly straight into the fog lamp until it locks into place.

5. Reinstall the front lower wheel well access panel and fasteners.
