Lights Replace with a new bulb, and reverse the removal steps to complete the process. Replacing rear side marker lamp For replacement of the rear side marker lamp, see your authorized dealer. Replacing tail/brake/turn signal/backup lamp bulbs The tail/brake/turn signal and backup lamp bulbs are located in the tail lamp assembly. Follow the same steps to replace either bulb. 1. Make sure the headlamp control is in the off position and open the trunk. 2. Lift out trunk floor carpeting panel to access a luggage scuff plate (hard molding) and a trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse side trim panel) at the lamp area. 3. Carefully pull/push the trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse side trim panel) outboard to expose the lamp assembly. The most effective point to grasp the trunk side panel when pulling it out from the luggage scuff plate is at it's bottom edge where that edge meets the exposed sheet metal of the trunk floor. Note: Do not allow the trunk side panel to remain bent and untucked from the luggage scuff plate (hard molding) for a long period of time. Doing so may result in permanent deformation. 4. Remove the bulb socket by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it straight out. 5. Pull the bulb from the socket and push in the new bulb. 6. Install the bulb socket into the lamp assembly by rotating it clockwise. 7. Carefully push the trunk side panel (dark grey, soft wheelhouse side trim panel) back in position to the luggage scuff plate (hard molding). 8. Install trunk floor carpeting panel. Replacing high-mount brake lamp bulb Your vehicle is equipped with an LED center high-mount stop lamp. It is designed to last the life of the vehicle. If replacement is required, see your authorized dealer. 70 2010 Fusion (fsn) Owners Guide, 4th Printing USA (fus)
