How to Change the Dash Panel Light on a Dodge Caravan

The dash panel lights in your Dodge Caravan illuminate important information that you need to be able to see while driving at night. When the dash panel lights burn out, you can purchase replacement lights from most auto parts stores. The bulb part number is not printed on the bulb, but if you know the model year of your Caravan, any auto parts store can sell you the correct sized bulb.

Things You'll Need

• Cross point screwdriver

Instructions

1. Remove the two screws on the underside of the top of the dash panel cowl with a screwdriver. The screws secure the cowl trim to the cowl.

2. Pull the cowl trim off the dash panel.

3. Remove the four screws holding the dash panel and instrument panel lights in place.

4. Slide the dash and instrument panel assembly forward.

5. Unplug the electrical connector from the back of the Dodge Caravan's dash panel.

7. Turn the bulb you want to change counterclockwise to unlock it from the back of the dash panel.

8. Pull the bulb out and insert the new bulb.

9. Turn the bulb clockwise to lock it into the dash panel.

10. Reconnect the power electrical connector to the back of the dash panel. Slide the dash panel back into the dash. Secure it with the factory mounting screws using a screwdriver.

11. Replace the cowl trim and secure it with the factory retaining screws.
