LAMP/SWITCH

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, 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. Open the glove box and remove any contents.
3. Reach through and above the glove box opening to access and press upward simultaneously on the two stops (4) integral to the instrument panel glove box opening (1), then roll the glove box down from the instrument panel.
4. Pull the forward edge of the glove box lamp (2) slightly rearward, then down from the front of the mounting hole far enough to slide the lamp forward.
5. Slide the lamp forward far enough to disengage the switch plunger (3) from the plunger clearance hole in the instrument panel glove box opening.
6. Lower the lamp and switch from the mounting hole far enough to access and disconnect the vehicle wire harness connector from the connector receptacle from the top of the lamp housing.
7. Remove the lamp and switch unit from the instrument panel.
