INSTALLATION
BULB
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, 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.
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.
1. Align the base of the ash receiver lamp bulb (2) with the lamp socket (1).
2. Push the bulb straight into the socket until the base is firmly seated.
3. Carefully slide the hood (3) onto the lamp socket until it is fully engaged with the integral snap features on each side of the socket.
4. Reinstall the lamp onto the top of the ash receiver housing (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR/ASH RECEIVER LAMP UNIT - INSTALLATION).
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
