How to Change a Blinker Bulb on a Chevy HHR
To change a blinker bulb on a Chevy HHR, you can follow these steps:
1. Access the bulb sockets: Lift the tailgate and locate the access panels on either side of the cargo area. Use a flathead screwdriver to apply pressure to the panel and release it. With the panel removed, you will have easy access to the bulb sockets for both the brake and reverse lights.
2. Remove the old bulb: Reach your hand in and grab the socket, then give it a counter-clockwise turn to remove it from the light housing. Pull the entire socket out from the panel. Remove the burnt bulb by pulling it straight out.
3. Install the new bulb: Insert the new bulb into the socket, making sure it is securely in place.
4. Reassemble: Place the socket back into the housing by turning it clockwise until it locks into place. Replace the access panel by aligning it and applying pressure until it snaps back into position.
Please note that these instructions are general and may vary slightly depending on the specific model and year of your Chevy HHR. It’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual for detailed instructions and diagrams specific to your vehicle.
