SPOT LAMP ASSEMBLY - POLICE (Continued)
(a) Position the spot lamp handle in the operat-
ing (downward close to vertical) position to the
outer tube.
(b) There are two detent positions to which the
handle must line up and engage. Rotate the knob
of the handle and the handle base to aid in engag-
ing each of the detents. Using the wedge nut open-
ing on the handle for visual aid, rotate the handle
as necessary while installing, in order to bring the
flat detent on the intermediate shaft into view
along the bottom of the opening.
(8) Tighten the bolt retaining the handle to the
outer tube (Fig. 54) and tighten to 6.5 N·m (58 in.
lbs.).
(9) Connect the spot lamp electrical connector (Fig.
53).
(10) Install the instrument panel endcap.
(11) Install the A-pillar trim.
(12) Install the X or Y fuse, depending on which
spot lamp is being serviced.
(13) Inspect the operation of the spot lamp to
ensure that the range of movement is correct.
• Using the handle, rotate the spot lamp from the
operating position to the stowed position and back.
Ensure that the lamp will maintain the desired posi-
tion. The stowed position should be just above the
windshield and the operating position should be ver-
tical to slightly outboard.
• Using the knob of the handle, rotate the head of
the spot lamp around on its axis. The spot lamp must
rotate 360 degrees on its axis.
(14) If the spot lamp head does not rotate 360
degrees on its axis, or if excessive effort is required
to rotate the lamp head on its axis, perform the fol-
lowing:
(a) Remove the handle and inspect for damage
to the inner shaft and the gears in the handle.
Repair or replace as necessary.
(b) If no damage is present to the inner shaft or
the gears in the handle, reinstall the handle and
reinspect the operation of the lamp.
(c) If the spot lamp head still does not properly
rotate 360 degrees on its axis, remove the cover
from the end of the spot lamp head assembly and
inspect for damage to the gears in the head assem-
bly. Repair or replace as necessary.
(15) Lower the spot lamp to the stowed position.
