Changing interior lights

[.Kevin.]

It's wrapped around the bulb if you remove the plastic button light cover thing you should see it.

I will report back in a few minutes I am gonna go check out for the fuse thing.

hmmm, I've changed out interior lights in several cars, and not one of them have any black thing around the light bulbs (I can't figure out why there would be anything around a light bulb to begin with).

A blown fuse looks like this:


That middle part should be one piece, not two, for a non-blown fuse. Fuses are a little hard to remove, so pinch tight. hahahaha. I've used needle-nose pliers to gently pull them out too.

look at pg 2 for fuse location (it's in the engine bay)

searched failed I know what youre talkin about now I will go look for a broken one, if I replace it do I need to use a specific one or just one of the spares inside the thing?

Will take photos aswell.

Under the cover, there's a diagram of the layout of the fuses (what the fuse is for). Look for the one that the dome light uses (I think it should say DOME on the diagram). Remove and inspect it. Also, there should be a number on the top of the fuse; i.e. 5, 10, 15, etc. You need to replace it with that same amperage. If none of the replacement fuses are of the amperage of the dome fuse, you can take it to any automotive shop or Radio Shack (if you guys have those up there) and hand them the fuse and ask for a replacement. There are different sizes of fuses, I think the ones in the fuse box are mini fuses.

Alright follow me on this

Went to the fuses Blue 15 was blown I swapped it and my car wouldnt turn on lol so I need another blue 15 fuse where do I get them.

Second of all some photos of the lights, left side is how it should be its fine. Right side has the bulb INSIDE the hole, and look at the left, that black thing is what keeps it in place, it is also INSIDE I have to somehow get them out was thinkin tweezers or something.

Ideas?

Any questions?

You'll need a 15 amp fuse to replace.

As for the light bulb, I think you push the base/bulb connector inside. That's where the bulb goes connects to. Do you know where it's at?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Where is the bulb, anyway?

[chrisj]

Oh shit. I see that the socket has been turned and is up in there. I have no idea how to get it out.

Looks like you'll have to pop off the whole map light to get that socket back out. It must have been turned and then went back up in there. The taillights are the same, with their sockets. As far as the bulb, it just comes straight out since it's a wedge.

Where do I get a fuse dealership? How much are they.

And yeah the bulb and the twist thing is INSIDE that shit, how to I remove it without damaging anything? Or should I just take it to the dealer and yell waranty on their asses that I went over a speed bump and shit hit the fan.

Like I mentioned earlier, fuses can be bought at any automotive store or electronic store. Again, it's a 15 amp fuse, most likely a mini blade fuse.

I have no clue how to remove the map light assembly. Sorry.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Okay, I found out how to remove it, but you will need a special tool to remove it. Go here and look at pg. 23, step 57.

However, they look like retainer clips. If you have a very thin flat head screw driver, I'm sure you can disengage them easily.

Moulding remover, the hell.

I will put something soft on my head and attempt to take it off, as for the fuses once again, do I go to the dealer for them? o,o


thanks btw for the help this is so intense, love you all.

You can, but the dealership will always charge WAY more than a regular auto parts store. Just go to a parts store or electrical shop and show them the blown fuse.

Alright cool thanks, and my mission..

*sigh*

Was a failure, no idea how to do this. Screw driver failed, and I have no idea where to get this molding tool, maybe Canadian tire? If not do I take my car to the dealer ship and say I went over a speed bump a fuse died and one of my bulbs came loose inside the map light console?

I also bought some crap for my car but dont wanna take pictures with this crappy situation going on but when I get it fixed and pop my LED bulbs in hopefully I can take photos.

Dont wanna pay for something so retarded x,x

No way they are going to believe you if you tell them that a speedbump caused your fuse to blow.

What auto parts stores do you have up there? One of them is bound to carry a molding remover tool.
