How to remove the courtesy light housing on2000 jeep Cher...

Good evening, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the Jeep. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with light related issues. The light housing is held in via pressure so you would need a long screwdriver to pry it down. Here are the OEM instructions. 1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable. 2. Insert a long, narrow, flat-bladed tool in the notch on the edge of the reading and courtesy lamp lens. 3. Gently pry the lens downward from the overhead console housing and pivot the lens down. It may be necessary to move the tool along the edge of the lens to free the lens from the console housing. 4. Unsnap the bulb from the bulb holders by pulling the bulb gently downwards. 5. Install a new bulb by aligning its base with the bulb holders and pushing the bulb firmly into place. 6. Pivot the lens back up into position and press upward firmly until it snaps into place. 7. Connect the battery negative cable. 8. Test the lamp by depressing the lens to check for proper lamp switching and lighting. 9.

I know that part. What's broken is the little push button behind all of thatIn order to get to it the whole housing has to come outI need to get the plastic housing out to get to the tiny light switch behind all of this

so did you follow the steps i sent in order to remove the housing?

I need the to remove what's under everything you instructed

okay ill go ahead and opt out and allow someone else to help you.

SorryThank you though!!

Hello, new expert here. I just need to reconfirm a couple things to see if I can help. It is a Cherokee and not a Grand Cherokee and I think? you are meaning the overhead console? Let me know, Thanks! Randall

Rear passenger courtesy light yes it's a 2000 jeep grand cherokee

I am sorry, I do not have enough repair information on that assembly to send, I thought you were dealing with the front assembly . I too will need to opt out, Sorry

Sometimes getting up behind the light assembly helps with removal, but will need to remove some of the clips/hooks from the headliner area to get it to drop down a bit. - Lemme know how it goes, or if any questions come up while checking things out!
