1. Gather the necessary tools and parts:
- Replacement map light bulb (check the owner's manual for the specific bulb type)
- Small flat-head screwdriver
- Phillips-head screwdriver
2. Turn off the power:
- Locate the interior fuse box in your Chrysler 300M. It is typically located under the dashboard, on the driver's side.
- Find the fuse labeled "MAP" or "Courtesy" and remove it to cut the power to the map lights.
3. Remove the old bulb:
- Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the plastic lens cover of the map light. Be careful not to break the lens.
- Once the lens is removed, you will see the old bulb.
- Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the socket.
4. Install the new bulb:
- Align the new bulb with the socket and gently push it in.
- Turn the bulb clockwise until it is snug in the socket.
5. Reattach the lens cover:
- Carefully replace the lens cover and press it firmly into place until it snaps shut.
6. Restore the power:
- Replace the fuse you removed earlier in the interior fuse box. This will restore power to the map lights.
7. Test the map light:
- Turn on the map light switch to check if the new bulb is working.
You have successfully replaced the map light bulb in your Chrysler 300M.
