Chrysler Repair: bulb replacement, chrysler town, model designs


Question
QUESTION: How to replace map reading light bulb (top front light)in 2005 Chrysler Town & Country)
Thanks.

ANSWER: Hi Yefim,
I don't have a manual as recent as '05. In '98, the instruction is to simply grasp the fixture at the edges and pull it straight down from the headlining. Then you will have access to the bulbs.

QUESTION: Thank you for reply, the "fixture" itself is the button, which turnes on/off the light, and the bulb is right under it. How to take it off in order to get to the bulb?
         Thanks.

Answer
Hi Yefim,
I'm only guessing, but as you descibe it I suspect that the button is simply held in place by a couple of "ears" which if pryed gently will release it. Are sure there is not an excutcheon that surrounds the button which also could have "ears" that secures it to the headliner panel? I am sorry to not be up to date on the newer model designs, as the shop manuals are too expensive at this time to obtain. That is why I limit my expertise to models earlier than 2001.
