$%@# bulb out!

So.....

I have an '03 4runner Sport and I have a bulb out. I'm wondering if anyone has a diagram that would show how to get to the bulbs behind the trip computer/clock/temp readout on the dash.

I'd hate to have to pay the dealer an hour of labour to replace a 15 cent bulb (they are still cheap aren't they?)

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

DC. thanks that's a great resource.....

Didn't find the diag. I was looking for, but a great resource none-the-less.

One of the boys here at work has a contact at a local dealer. He's gonna check if they have a description and get back to me.

If you are talking about behind the temp controls it is easy. Open the lower cubbie. There will be 1 screw along the top of the cubbie (bottom of dash). unscrew it and then gentley pull off the dash section (held on by 4 pressure clips). It is about a 2 minute job. The bulds are $6-10. I just did mine 2 days ago.

Matt, thanks for the reply....

I was able to get the diagrams for the panel from Toyota on friday. You're right, a 2 minute job.

Now if I can figure out why my stereo keeps needing to be reset when the truck is parked outside at minus 25 celsius or so, I'd be a happy camper once again.
