Dodge Repair: replacing dome light and switch., negative cable, flacid


Question
Hey Kevin, one of my front overhead lights of my 2001 Ram 1500 quad cab went out and the switch is broke itself.  how do I get the overhead console off, does it just snap off because I did not see any screws whatsoever?  I'll have to replace the switch or spring connected to the light as well because unlike it's twin on the right side, it's flacid and rattles when I turn the stereo up.  Will I have to get an oem part from Dodge for that?

Answer
REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Insert a long, narrow, flat-bladed tool between the curved (outboard) edge of the reading and courtesy lamp lens and the overhead console housing (Overhead Console Reading Lamp Bulb Removal).
Gently pry inward and downward against the lens until the latch tab in the center of the outboard edge of the reading and courtesy lamp lens is disengaged from the overhead console housing.
Pull firmly on the lens toward the outboard side of the vehicle to disengage the two pivot tabs on the inboard edge of the reading and courtesy lamp lens are disengaged from the overhead console housing.
Remove the reading and courtesy lamp lens from the overhead console housing.
