Removal

LAMP

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 liftgate 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.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Insert a trim stick or another suitable wide flat-bladed tool, between the liftgate lamp housing (3) and the lamp seat in the liftgate trim panel (1).

3. Carefully pry the liftgate lamp unit outward from the trim panel.

4. Disconnect the wire harness connector (2) from the back of the lamp housing.

5. Remove the lamp from the liftgate.
