WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
- Locate the two license plate lamps (2) on the underside of the liftgate handle and light bar assembly (3) above the license plate tub on the liftgate outer panel.
- Insert the end of a trim stick or a small screwdriver into the open end of the hood formation (4) on one end of the lamp lens to depress the latch tab (1) and pull that end of the lamp down from the handle and light bar assembly.
- Pull the lamp towards the center of the vehicle far enough to disengage the lamp interlocking tab mounting feature from the outboard edge of the mounting hole.
- Pull the lamp out of the mounting hole far enough to access the lamp wiring and bulb socket on the top of the lamp housing.
- Firmly grasp the socket and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it.
- Pull the socket and bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the lamp housing.
- Remove the lamp from the vehicle.
