Stupid Question but - Tail light replacement
Stupid Question but - Tail light replacement
This should be an easy no brainer but I ran into problems...
I have a tail light out on the passengers side rear. I have have brake lights but no tail light - assume at this point bad bulb...
So here at work I go out with handy dandy screwdriver and remove the two screws that hold the tail light assembly in from the inside of the bed (had to lower tail gate to gain access). Now I go to remove the housing but it's held fast around the corner... uh oh... Apply a little power and still nothing, it's held fast... is there something I'm missing. The bed has a sprayed in bed liner (linex) but I could see nothing on the inside of the bed nor feel anything that would beholding it. Now it was dark out (3rd shifter) but I had a flash light and backed up to an open bay door so I had the light from inside the building shining out.

Not sure about the 95, but guessing they all should be the same, there are clip, that are a tension kinda hold, kinda like a door clip, I got one corner of mine out and slowly pulled along the edges till it popped out. but depending on how easy wet bedliner flows maybe some seeped in and glued the light in??? dunno never seen bedliner when it is still wet.
