NOTE: THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1999 (MDH 1231XX).

DISCUSSION:
Removal of the headlamp assembly on the listed models has previously required the front fascia to be partially removed from the vehicle and rolled down as described on page 8L-18 of the 2000 Concorde/Intrepid/LHS/3OOM service manual (Publication No.81-270-0040). A change has been made to the upper crossmember and headlamp mounting panel assembly. With the new design, the outboard headlamp attachment (jackscrew) has been moved to the crossmember and one of the inboard crossmember attachments has been deleted. With this change, the headlamp and crossmember attachments can be removed, allowing the crossmember to be raised and the lamps removed from the top. The following service procedure is provided for those vehicles listed.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Remove the headlamp sight shield (300M only).

2. Remove the upper crossmember attachments, both sides (6), headlamp jackscrews (4), windshield filler neck screw (1), and speed control servo screw (1) (Figure 1).

3. Lift and prop the crossmember above the headlamp on the side being serviced, and remove the electrical connectors from the headlamp.

4. Pull headlamp up and under crossmember to remove it from the vehicle.
