LAMP

WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, 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 supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.




1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.

2. Remove the screw (2) that secures the integral mounting tab of the courtesy lamp unit (1) to the lower instrument panel (3).

3. Pull the courtesy lamp down from the lower instrument panel far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness connector from the back of the courtesy lamp.

4. Remove the courtesy lamp from under the instrument panel.
