OBC light fading away

[rnrn]

Gents,

I believe I've read over the years this is a PITA to remove and replace. I could be wrong. Anyone have a link to the procedure. Radio is fine. TIA...

Remove the radio, there is a lever on the right side of the cavity that releases the obc.
It's a plastic piece and usually quite stiff requiring a good tug so don't do this while it's very cold.

Thanks Ross #1. Despite my guilt, did that gas tank ever end up anywhere other than the dump?

radio side you're likely to break it. There's actually levers on both sides, one you pull while pushing the other. Don Gale has a good write up on it herehttp://www.nmia.com/~dgnrg/page_36.htm (http://www.nmia.com/%7Edgnrg/page_36.htm)

It's either a Hyundai or soup cans by now.

Just make sure you get the correct bulbs. The OBC III has 6 or 6.5V bulbs, the OBC IV has 12V. The parts catalog shows the wrong number. The black socket ones are the correct ones, the other ones are gree(ish), and on the base of the socket there is mentioned 12V.
see www.autohausaz.com the different bulbs with pics

if they are more than a buck, they are selling you the wrong ones.
do all 3 and don;t worry about it again for another 5 years or more.

I jsut use the radio side lever. it felt like metal to me.
