A modified key light was introduced into production on December 18, 1984, beginning with the VIN's listed below:

In a situation where a key light head is inoperative due to a discharged battery, the battery may be replaced with a Sanyo CR16203V replacement battery
or the equivalent.
In order to properly disassemble and reassemble the new modified key light, follow the procedure listed below.
