How to Replace the Brake Light Bulb on a Dodge Grand Caravan
- 1). Turn the engine off, set the parking brake, and open the rear liftgate.
- 2). Remove the two Phillips-head screws from the edge of the taillight assembly if your Grand Caravan is model year 2008 or newer. Pry off the two push-in fasteners with a flat-head screwdriver if your Grand Caravan is model year 2004 to 2007.
- 3). Pull the taillight assembly away from the van gently. Turn the bulb socket to remove it from the assembly (the brake light bulb socket is the one facing inward).
- 4). Pull the old bulb from the socket. Insert the replacement bulb into the socket. Don't touch the bulb's glass; instead, hold the bulb by its base (the oil on your skin can cause it to fail). Reattach the socket to the taillight assembly. Turn the socket to tighten it.
- 5). Replace the taillight assembly. Tighten the Phillips-head screws (2008 to 2010), or reinsert the push-in fasteners (2004 to 2007).
