LAMP, Reading: Installation: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup and 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with an optional overhead console the standard front dome lamp is replaced by two combination dome and reading lamps that are integral to the console housing. Each of these lamps is controlled by the door ajar switches on the courtesy lamp circuit, but also are independently controlled by a switch that is activated by depressing the lamp lens. The bulb types and service procedures are identical for both of these lamps.
NOTE:
The overhead console reading lamp switches and bulb holders are serviced as a unit with the overhead console wire harness.
- Align the base of the overhead console reading lamp bulb (1) with the socket.
- Push the bulb straight into the socket until the base is firmly seated.
- Position the lens switch tab (2) into the slot in the rear of the overhead console (1) lamp housing opening.
- Align the pivot tabs (3) on each side of the lens with the pivots within the overhead console lamp housing.
- Press firmly and evenly on the lens over both pivot locations until both pivot tabs snap back onto the pivots within the housing.
- Reconnect the battery negative cable.
