Chrysler T&C (2005) - Can anyone describe how to access, remove, and replace the bulb in the crescent-shaped reading lights at the front of the overhead console. The owner's manual says nothing, and there are no obvious clips, latches, screws, etc. to release.

Unfortunately, the answer I have is not a happy one =(. My wife has a 2005. In order to replace the bulb you will have to pull the Crutons (plastic push pins) that hold the front bumber cover on, remove the Headlight housing & replace the bulb that way. Shame on Chrysler for making it so difficult, in my opinion. But I hope this helps you to change the bulb =)

On teh back of the headlight housing there is a interlocking bulb holder that your wires are attached to. Disconnect the wires, Unscrew the Bulb holder and replace old bilb with new one. Reassemble and reattach the wire socket.

its works in 2001 chrysler.. hope so it works in 2005 model also

rate it if it resolves your problem

Bulbs in there are not-replaceable. 

You can access screws from hatch behind liner. there should be two screws for each lens. Bulbs and socket just turn and remove.

check the bulbs do not have fractured filaments,and check the headlamp relay.check the sockets for corrosion and if all that checks out ok check the connection on the back of the headlight switch and the daytime running light module

you need to remove entire assembly to access bulbs.it is secured by small hex head screws & a ''sliding tab'',an L shaped piece you pry up w/a flat screwdriver.

NO NO! Just reach in with hood open and turn the plastic ring that holds bulb and harness in. Then you can just pull it out and replace it.

I have the same vehicle. when the sun comes up I will go out and look my self and get back. It should let me post a follow up.

I just replaced the bulb in the driver's side headlamp on my 2005 Scion xA without having to remove any screws, bolts or the grill. It's very simple, but it helps to have small hands. Just take the cover off the fuse box to allow more room for your hand. Reach in with your left hand and unplug the wiring assembly. Remove the rubber cover by using leatherman pliers. Squeeze the two sides of the spring clip together to release the bulb. Don't worry, the spring is hinged at the bottom, so you won't lose it. Take out old bulb & replace with new. Reverse steps, making sure you align the center hole of the rubber cover so that the three prongs of the bulb are protruding.

you should not have t remove the headlight assembly to replace the bulb access should be under the hood. as for the moisture the bulb holder may be damaged or not fitted properly
