Marker Lamp Bulb: Service and Repair
Rear Fender
NOTE: These lamps are used on pick-up models with dual rear wheels. A lamp with an amber lens is located on the rear fender ahead of each rear
wheel opening, and a lamp with a red lens is located on the rear fender behind each rear wheel opening. The bulb types and service procedures are
identical for all four of these lamps.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Using hand pressure, press the rear edge of the rear fender marker lamp lens/housing (4) toward the front of the vehicle against the spring pressure
of the retaining clip, then pull the rear edge of the lamp outward to disengage it from the mounting hole in the rear fender.
3. Pull the lamp out from the rear fender far enough to access the bulb socket (1) on the back of the lamp lens/housing.
4. Firmly grasp the bulb socket on the back of the lamp lens/housing and rotate it counterclockwise about 30 degrees to unlock it.
5. Pull the socket and bulb straight out from the keyed opening in the housing.
6. Pull the base of the bulb (3) straight out of the socket.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the lamp, the
socket and/or the lamp wiring.
1. Align the base of the bulb (3) with the socket (1).
2. Push the bulb straight into the socket until the base is firmly seated.
3. Be certain that a rubber O-ring seal (2) is properly installed and in good condition around the base of the bulb socket.
