REMOVAL
LAMP
WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system 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 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 that secures the integral mounting bracket of the courtesy lamp (1) to the lower instrument panel (2).
3. Pull the courtesy lamp unit down from the lower instrument panel far enough to access and disconnect the instrument panel wire harness from the connector receptacle on the top of the lamp housing.
4. Remove the courtesy lamp from under the instrument panel.
