Part number for lamp 16208443


Use a small common screw driver to release tab on all locks around face of car stereo by lifting center of tabs up.

One tab, on side of car stereo is a lift of entire tab.

Gently pull face plate from stereo, there is a ribbon cable connected to front display board. It is important that front face plate is removed straight off of car stereo frame. When reinstalling face plate, face plate must be installed straight onto frame of stereo so connection pins are not bent.

When snapping face plate back into radio, this display lamp circuit board fits into a slotted attachment to the top of the case of the stereo (Slot is shown in next picture). Be sure circuit board fits into slot.

Not aligning printed circuit board to notch will result in shorting this circuit board and burn circuit and components.

With small common screw driver or needle nose pliers twist lamp to release. In some cases, this lamp is slightly soldered to the circuit board. Apply pressure to remove lamp.

Install new lamp and assemble.

I have the luxury of a test bench to verify a working display. You will have to reinstall car stereo into dash to check.
