Center Bezel Lamp - Removal

LAMP

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.





1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. The center bezel lamp (1) is located on the underside of the instrument panel center bezel below the heater-air conditioner controls, above the center floor console forward storage bin. Use a small thin-bladed screwdriver to depress the lamp retaining latch (4) on the end of the lamp housing nearest the lens (3).
3. Pull the lamp down and move it toward the latch end to disengage the fixed retainer (2) from the mounting hole.
4. Disconnect the wire harness connector from the lamp connector.
5. Remove the lamp unit from the center bezel.
