Answer 1

# Remove the license plate. #

# Remove the screws from the license plate lamp. # Remove the license plate lamp from the end gate. # Remove the license plate lamp socket, turning counterclockwise. # Remove the bulb from the license plate lamp socket. #

# Install the bulb to the license plate lamp socket. # Install the license plate lamp socket, turning clockwise. Notice:Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

# Install the license plate lamp to the end gate. Tighten

Tighten the screws to the license plate lamp to 2 N·m (18 lb in). # Install the screws to the license plate lamp. # Install the license plate.

Answer 2

Raise the liftgate. You'll need a 7 mm socket or nut driver. The brake/blinker light is a #3157. There are two hex-head screws to remove. Pull the tail light straight back off the car. There are two little metal prongs that need to release from their rubber grommets for it to pop off. I needed to use two flat head screw drivers to help me get the light to pop off, but if you have strong fingers, maybe you won't need them. Replace the bulb by pushing in the mechanism on the socket, and turning about a 1/4 turn. Pull the socket out, and then remove the bulb by gently pulling it straight out. Don't twist. Put everything back in reverse order, and PRESTO! And you didn't even have to ask your husband to help you ! ;)
