How to Replace Durango 2003 Tail Lights
Never procrastinate when it comes to replacing burned out or defective tail lights. Your nighttime safety and the safety of your passengers depends upon other vehicles being able to see your lights from behind the car. This replacement procedure applies to the 1998 through 2003 Dodge Durango, as well as to the 1996 through 2000 Dodge Caravan, Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Grand Voyager, and Chrysler Town & Country (all these vehicles have the same tail light unit).
Instructions
- 1
Raise the cargo hatch of your vehicle. Locate two screws on the inside of the hatch, immediately beside the tail light unit. Unscrew these screws with a Phillips screwdriver. (Alternately, some models have two plastic pins which need to be pried out with a flathead screwdriver.)
2Pull the tail light unit out toward the back of the car with your hands. Press the small tab that locks the two halves of the electrical connector together, and pull the connector apart. The tail light will now be separated from the car.
3Remove the bulb cover from any burned out bulbs by screwing the cover counterclockwise with your fingers. Pull the burned out bulb straight out of the socket. Gently press a new bulb into place. Replace the bulb cover by screwing it clockwise into position.
4Press the two halves of the electrical connector together until they lock. Press the entire tail light unit back into place in the back of the car. Fasten by screwing the two screws into place with a Phillips screwdriver (or alternately, by pressing the plastic pins into place with your fingers). Close the cargo hatch.
