Installation

BULB

CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.





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. Install the ends of the bulb (3) onto the two bulb holders within the liftgate lamp housing (1).

2. Align the lamp lens (2) with the lamp housing, then use firm and even hand pressure to snap the lens onto the housing.

3. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
