Replacing back light in overhead console ('05 Liberty)
 

The back lighting on some of the controls has gone dark. I find one screw
near the windshield. This nowhere near releases the housing. I really don't
want to rip anything loose. Any tips? (pinging Mike S).

Umm...
Ed...
No warranty left? That rig should have had the 7/75 on it.
I am not trying to be a smart alek here, but have you checked the owner's
manual?

It may also be a fuse... check your destructions for your panel lights and
see if you may have blown one.

The '05 Liberty has 3yrs/36k miles "bumper to bumper" and 7/70k on a
limited drive train warranty ($100 deductible). If that vehicle has less
than 36k miles I would certainly take it to the dealer. My '04 Wrangler
has over 36k miles and I just got a new drive shaft and U joints for
$100. Too bad the '07s are just 3/36 only. :-(

Re: Replacing back light in overhead console ('05 Liberty)
 

Hi Kate,

It had 9 miles on it when we got in February '05. It now has 49K on it.
Warranty was up 13k ago. Wasn't any power train warranty beyond that (was on
the '05 RAM though). I doubt it's a fuse as only the two left buttons aren't
lit. A friend who works for a jeep dealer gave me the scoop on how to get
the housing loose. I saw an '07 Wrangler Sahara the other day I'd like to
have. But I am sick of making payments. Gonna pay the truck and the Jeep off
and be happy for a while! :) Thanks to you and everybody for the replies.
