REMOVAL
BULB - FRONT
NOTE: Two different front dome lamps are available, one for vehicles without a sunroof and a second for vehicles with a sunroof. The only differences between these lamps are that the one for sunroof applications has a mount for a power sunroof switch within the lamp housing, an opening in the center of the lamp lens through which the sunroof switch rocker protrudes, and an opening on the back of the lamp housing through which the sunroof switch connector receptacle protrudes. The lamp and bulb service procedures are the same for either lamp.
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the front dome lamp from the headliner. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING - INTERIOR/DOME LAMP - REMOVAL/FRONT DOME LAMP).
3. With the lamp lens (1) in the open position, carefully unsnap the bulb (3) from the two bulb holders within the front dome lamp housing (2).
