Center Console Lights

I was on my way from Utah to Alaska this week and I hit one of the overhead console lights to hard I guess and I cannot get the light to shut off. I cant find anything in the owner manuel about getting the console off. Have any of you had to take it off before? I think there is just some sort of spring in there i knocked out of place. I dont like driving at night with the light on, especially with moose everywhere. Thanks guys.

You should just be able to stick a thin screwdriver/knife in between the lens and the trim and pull the lens out. Just pop out the bulb until you get home and can pull the switch out and fix it. I can't find the trim removal steps right now (beer) but if you need it, PM me.


REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Insert a long, narrow, flat-bladed tool between
the curved (outboard) edge of the reading and courtesy
lamp lens and the overhead console housing
(Fig. 4).
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Remove the reading and courtesy lamp lens
from the overhead console housing.
