console plate back slightly to remove the two lower screws holding the AC control head to
the IP. Open the console lid and remove the two Phillips screws holding the console plate
to the carrier. Remove the other four screws and lift up on the console plate and move it
back a couple of inches. Now remove the four 7mm headed screws holding the control
head to the IP. Pull the control head rearward, but do not remove it or disconnect anything.

other four screws and lift up the console plate and move it back a couple of inches. Remove
the four 7mm headed screws holding the AC control head to the dash. Pull the control head

1984-88 Driver Information Panel Bulbs
Once the center instrument panel bezel is removed, remove the 7mm headed screws hold-
ing the upper driver information panel to the IP. Now pull rearward and unplug the con-
nector going to the back of the information panel. You cannot unplug the left switch wires,
so turn the panel face down allowing access to the bulb sockets. The two bulbs on the left
are a lower candlelight power than the indicator bulbs. These bulbs should have a blue
filament. The end bulbs have a white filament. If you have a UJ6 option (low tire warning),
the two sockets can be removed for the bulb replacement. These leads come from the LTPWS
module.
1989 Driver Information Panel Bulbs
Once the center instrument panel bezel is removed, remove the 7mm headed screws hold-
ing the upper driver information panel to the IP. Now pull rearward and unplug the con-
nector going to the back of the information panel. You cannot unplug the left switch wires,
so turn the panel face down allowing access to the bulb sockets. The two bulbs on the left
are a lower candlelight power than the indicator bulbs. These bulbs should have a blue
filament. The end bulbs have a white filament. If you have a UJ6 option (low tire warning),
the two sockets can be removed for the bulb replacement. These leads come from the LTPWS
module.
1984-1989 Radio Control Head Bulbs
After the center dash bezel has been removed, remove the four 7mm headed screws hold-
ing the radio control head to the instrument panel. Carefully pull the radio out of the dash
and unplug all connectors and coax from the radio. The black, blue, and white connec-
tors are positive indexed so they cannot be cross plugged. Remove the radio from the car
and lay it on a soft flat surface. Remove the radio knobs from the radio by pulling them off
the shafts. This includes the bass and treble buttons. The face of the radio will have to be
unsnapped in order to access the bulbs.
1984-1989 Auto Transmission Shift Indicator Bulb
To access the bulb, the center console shift plate has to be
lifted up.
Step 1) Open the console lid and remove the two Phillips
screws holding the center trim plate to the console
carrier.
Step 2) Remove the other Phillips screws pointed downward
holding the shift plate to the carrier.
Step 3) Remove the two bottom Phillips screws holding the
center dash bezel to the dash. This allows you to lift
up on the shift plate so you can access the socket go-
ing to the PRNDL indicator. Turn the socket counter-
clockwise to disconnect it. The new bulb should have
a white filament. When reassembling the plate make
sure the shift indicator indexing tab is over the shift
lever stud.
