Instrument Bulb Replacement (Oil Pressure Warning Light in Dash)

[BlueRidgeBoy]

I searched the forum ... I promise.

 

Is it possible to replace the oil pressure indicator light bulb in the dash (98 RT) without disassembly of tupperware? I can grab the rubber bulb holder but can't seem to pull it out and I don't want to pull on the wires. If not what do I take apart?

 

The owner's manual doesn't cover this at all.

Are you sure it is a bad lightbulb? I thought mine was bad, but it turned out to be a bad oil pressure switch. Check your switch frist. Short out the wire going to the switch and see if the light bulb starts working, if yes you need a new oil pressure switch.

You've got the right idea. They're a pretty tight fit, but if you wiggle it back and forth, it will come out.
