INSTALLATION
CLUSTER BULB
This procedure applies to each of the incandescent
cluster illumination lamp or indicator lamp bulb and
bulb holder units. However, the illumination lamps
and the indicator lamps use different bulb and bulb
holder unit sizes. They must never be interchanged.
Be certain that any bulb and bulb holder unit
removed from the cluster electronic circuit board is
reinstalled in the correct position.
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and
type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type
may overheat and cause damage to the instrument
cluster, the electronic circuit board and/or the
gauges.
(1) Insert the bulb and bulb holder unit straight
into the correct bulb mounting hole in the cluster
electronic circuit board.
(2) With the bulb holder fully seated against the
cluster electronic circuit board, turn the bulb holder
clockwise about sixty degrees to lock it into place.
(3) Install the instrument cluster onto the instru-
ment panel. Refer to Instrument Cluster in the
Removal and Installation section of this group for the
procedures.
