Start fixing the rear combination lamp assembly LH by uninstalling the rear combination lamp service cover LH followed by disconnection of the connector and the removal of 2 nuts before extracting the rear combination lamp assembly LH. The next step involves removal of the rear combination lamp body gasket LH before taking out the 3 rear combination lamp bulbs and their socket-and-wire sub-assembly from the assembly by detaching each bulb from its socket. A screwdriver should be used to detach the 11 claws before removing the rear combination lamp lens LH through three cycles of removing the rear combination lamp socket and wire sub-assembly LH. The technician must first dispose of the rear combination lamp lens gasket LH before removing the rear combination lamp lens & body LH. The first installation step includes inserting a new rear combination lens gasket onto the rear combination lamp lens & body LH before you place the rear combination lamp lens LH on top. A new rear combination lens gasket needs replacement since it cannot be reused while a testing procedure with automatic car wash or hose needs to verify that water stays out of the rear combination lamp assembly LH.

The first step to remove the rear combination light assembly from the LH side is disconnecting the negative cable from the battery terminal for at least 90 seconds to avoid activating the Air Bag and seat belt pretensioners. Begin by uninstalling the rear combination light service cover LH before proceeding to disconnect the rear combination light assembly LH connector then eliminate its two nuts. Place the rear combination light assembly LH in position by attaching its 2 nuts and connecting the connector. After replacing the rear combination light service cover on the LH side complete the repair by connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal.

The gasket cannot be reused.

Disengage the 11 claws with a screwdriver.
