NOTE:
This lamp is used on vehicles with a pick-up bed and dual rear wheels only. A lamp with a red lens and containing three bulbs is located on the rearward facing surface of the pick-up bed sill below the tailgate. The bulb types and service procedures are identical for all three of these bulbs.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Remove the two screws that secure the outboard ends of the tailgate marker lamp lens/housing (1) to the rearward facing surface of the sill panel.
- Pull the marker lamp out from the sill panel far enough to access the sockets (3) on the bottom of the lamp housing.
- Firmly grasp the marker lamp socket on the bottom of the lamp housing and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it.
- Pull the socket and bulb (2) straight out from the keyed opening in the housing.
- Pull the base of the bulb straight out of the socket.
