How do you replace a burnt out multi-information display bulb on a Toyota 4Runner?

Answer 1

for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner.

tools needed: #10 socket, mini needle nose plier.

1. open auxiliary box. you should see a #10 bolt on top left side. remove.

2. grab plastics edges on both ends under a/c control knobs. pull face plate

outward slowly until the tabs release.

3. left face plate outward until top two tabs release. careful of wire harness

connected to multi-information diplay unit (MIDU).

4. turn MIDU around so you are looking at the back. the two bulbs are located

on the top half - you will need a mini needle nose plier to release the bulb by

turning to the left and then lifting out.

the bulb costs $4.53 at Toyota Parts Department (Servco Hawaii). i heard it costs

approximately $155.00+ to have Toyota replace this part.
