5. Batteries will self-discharge more quickly when dirty. Periodic cleaning of the
battery terminals using a terminal brush will help maximize battery life. Wash
terminals with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water.
Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the
terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
6. Battery connections should be tightened to the correct torque during
installation. This will reduce voltage drop and ensure a reliable connection
between the alternator and battery.
HEADLAMP BULB REPLACEMENT
When servicing a halogen lamp (bulb), avoid touching the lamp with bare
fingers. Oil from your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten
the life of the lamp. If fingers do touch a lamp, clean it with denatured alcohol.
OUTER HEADLAMPS
1. Pull the sealing boot away from the back of the bulbs and housing.
2. Press the looped end of the wire bulb retainer clip and swing the end toward
the center of the bulb to release it from the latch tab.
3. With the wire connector attached, pull the bulb out.
4. Disconnect the wire harness. Install the new bulb and secure the retainer.
5. Reinstall the sealing boot. Make sure it seals tightly around the bulb base
and lens to seal off from moisture.
CENTER HEADLAMPS (IF EQUIPPED)
1. Disconnect the headlight wiring harness at the rear of the headlights.
2. From the rear of the headlight, grasp the bulb housing and rotate it counter-
clockwise to remove it.
3. Install the new bulb and rotate it clockwise to secure it.
4. Reconnect the wiring harness.
