My 2006 Torrent odometer light is burned out and the dealer said that it is expensive to replace. How can I replace it myself?

Dealer said they have to pull the dash to access the rear of the instrument panel to replace the odometer lamp. I currently have to either use a flashlight or be in bright sunlight to see the odometer. All the other dash lights work for now.

    I just replaced the odometer bulb in my 06 Pontiac torrent it seriously was one of the easiest bulbs I've ever replaced! The trim around the instrument panel and the top of the steering column trim just pull off and there is four screws 9/32mn that you remove holding the instrument panel on. Remove the screws and instrument panel will just pull out. On the back the bottom bulb is the only one with white trim unscrew that plug the new one in and that's it. Reinstall the screws pop the trim back on and you're good to go. It cost me $7.32 for the bulb.

SOURCE: i have a 2000 pontiac

There will be a fuse for you dash lights and they are just light bulbs in the back. Is it just your odometer light that went out or the whole dash cluster? In all likeliness it's probably just the bulb that burned out.

SOURCE: 2006 Pontiac Torrent rear drums

They pull off just like any other vehicle, unless you live in an area where they use salt. Brake and suspension parts on these rust and sieze quickly. Soak with penetrating oil and keep tapping around perimiter. I do this for a living, and I've had Torrent drums take me hours to break loose (I'm surprised the wheels even came off)

Where does the fresh air snorkel connect to the valve cover on a 2006 Pontiac torrent? Check engine light is on (P0171 code)

If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus I know a website that has very good manuals online, without expiry i.e. for lifetime. www.reliable-store.com

I believe the one your describing goes from the air inlet tube assy. , up and over the throttle body and goes to the top of the valve cover, under the ignition module (firewall side). If you already paid the dealer to fix this, take it back under warranty,

2006 pontiac torrent whining sound coming from rear when driving

The only thing I would think of is. At the GM dealer ask for a service bulletin for the 2006 Pontiac Torrent if any or look for any changes in body configuration and under the car. Whining noise could be a big puzzle. Need a very good technician in noise problem to find out and very expensive to find if not under warranty.

Hope it helps.

Replacing dash lights on mercury mariner

dealers and their desperation to get in your pockets lol. seriously as simple as changing a light bulb from a lamp. start with taking the plastic housing off of your steering column, then the dash starts co come apart use a plastic putty knife where it is held on by clips so to not scar up your dash. a few screws here and there and your indicator panel is visible and accessible. although you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you can access your instrument panel from underneath the dash.

"deck"

my manual tells me that DECK showing in the odometer window (it's a light that lights up), means the Trunk is open.
it's like a warning light that the trunk is not closed completely.
I verified this myself.

Engine light was on... said running lean ...no

I appreciate the feedback and am somewhat better informed when I take the Torrent into the shop tomorrow...obviously a bandaid over the pig shaped engine light wasn't cutting it! The light came on within 10 miles.

Stereo light burned out

usually there not replacable but on the other hand when we at the dealer take them out we send them to a gm authorized electronic repair shop that solders in the led lamps and sends them back. I myself have done this to my own cars. if you feel good enough to try opening the unit and looking to see what the lamp is and go to radio shack and pick up a bulb.
