Marker Lamp: Service and Repair
MARKER LAMPLAMP
NOTE: Vehicles manufactured for export markets do not have a bulb, socket or wiring provided to illuminate the front side marker lamp. The front side marker lamp housing and lens are present, but serve only as a reflector on export vehicles.
REMOVAL
1. Turn the front wheels full lock toward the same side of the vehicle as the lamp being serviced.
2. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
3. Remove the four fasteners securing the front of the adjacent right or left front fender wheel liner to the lower edge of the front bumper fascia and the outboard surface of the frame rail ahead of the front wheel.
4. Reach between the front of the wheel liner and the lower fascia (3) to access the back of the front side marker lamp unit housing (1).
5. If the vehicle is so equipped, firmly grasp the front side marker bulb socket on the back of the lamp housing and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it.
6. If the vehicle is so equipped, pull the socket and bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the housing.
7. Slide the retaining clip (5) off of the pin (4) integral to the lower end of the lamp housing that secures the lamp to the fascia.
8. Push the lower end of the lamp out through the outside of the fascia far enough to disengage the tab (2) at the top of the lamp from the notch at the top of the lamp mounting hole.
9. Remove the lamp from the outside of the fascia.
INSTALLATION
1. Position the front side marker lamp unit (1) to the lamp mounting hole on the outside of the fascia.

3. Reach between the front of the adjacent right or left front fender wheel liner and the lower bumper fascia (3) to access the back of the lamp housing.
4. Slide the retaining clip (5) onto the pin on the lower end of the lamp housing to secure the lamp to the fascia.
