Marker Lamp: Removal: Bulb
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The following procedure applies only to vehicles manufactured for the North American market. Vehicles manufactured for export markets do not have a bulb, socket or wiring provided to illuminate the front side marker lamp. The front side marker lamp housing and lens are present, but serve only as a reflector on export vehicles.
- Turn the front wheels full lock toward the same side of the vehicle as the lamp being serviced.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Remove the four fasteners securing the front of the adjacent right or left front fender wheel liner to the lower edge of the front bumper fascia and the outboard surface of the frame rail ahead of the front wheel.
- Reach between the front of the wheel liner and the lower fascia to access the back of the front side marker lamp unit housing. See Fig 1.
