Cluster Bulb

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Pickup and 2004 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This procedure applies to each of the incandescent cluster illumination lamp bulb and bulb holder units. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system, the RKE receiver module must be removed from the instrument cluster rear cover to access the lower center cluster illumination lamp, which is located on the circuit board directly behind the RKE module. (Refer to REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY MODULE ).

  1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
  2. Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument panel. (Refer to REMOVAL  ).
  3. Turn the bulb holder counterclockwise about sixty degrees on the cluster electronic circuit board (Fig 1 ).
