CLUSTER BULB
This procedure applies to each of the incandescent
cluster illumination lamp or indicator bulb and bulb
holder units. However, the illumination lamps and
the indicators use different bulb and bulb holder unit
sizes. They must never be interchanged.
CAUTION: Be certain that any bulb and bulb holder
unit removed from the cluster electronic circuit
board is reinstalled in the correct position. 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 elec-
tronic 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 (Fig. 3).
(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) Reinstall the instrument cluster onto the
instrument panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - INSTALLATION).
(4) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
CLUSTER LENS
(1) Align the cluster lens with the cluster hood and
mask unit (Fig. 4). Be certain that the trip odometer
reset knob boot is aligned with the reset switch knob.
(2) Press firmly and evenly on the cluster lens to
install it onto the cluster housing.
(3) Work around the perimeter of the cluster lens
to be certain that each of the latches that secure the
lens to the cluster housing is fully engaged.
(4) Reinstall the instrument cluster onto the
instrument panel. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER - INSTALLATION).
(5) Reconnect the battery negative cable.
