changing turn signal indicator
« on: July 03, 2007 - 07:56:40 AM »
New problem:
The left turn signal indicator bulb is blown on the dash, the right side is easily accesible, but the left on is a pain to get to, I tried reaching under the dash at all different angles and can't reach the bulb, so I tried taking the face plate off with the lights, wiper, defrost switches and guage panel to access the bulb, but it comes loose when all the screws are out, but still has some resistance.  Any good way to change this bulb?

From your info, I'm guessing standard gauges? Not that it matters here. I'm not sure I understand what you have done, but if you have the cover from the gauges off, and have unscrewed the gauge pod from the dash frame, I would think you could tilt it enough to get to the socket in question. The socket just pulls out of the gauge pod. It will bring the bulb with it. The resistance you might be feeling is the fingers of the socket that have to make contact with the gauge pod for grounding.

Mek,
the face plate won't come off, I can loosen all the screws but it won't release, it loosens up but just won't pull off and I'm afraid If I pull to hard something is going to break.
