Removal

BULB





NOTE: Two versions of the liftgate lamp are available: one using an incandescent bulb for illumination, and one using a Light Emitting Diode (LED) unit for illumination. The external appearance of the two lamp units is the same as are the service procedures for removing and installing the lamp or the lamp lens. Only the light source is different. The incandescent bulb is serviceable using the following procedure; however, if an LED unit or the printed circuit board to which the LED is soldered is damaged or ineffective, the entire lamp unit must be replaced.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Using a small thin-bladed screwdriver, gently pry between the lamp lens (2) and the lamp housing (1) at the two upper or lower snap features to remove the lens from the housing.

3. Disengage the ends of the bulb (3) from the two bulb holders within the lamp housing.
