This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second generation 2015, 2016 and 2017 Chrysler 200 sedan in changing a burnt out cargo area light bulb in the trunk.

Owners of other Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat vehicles such as the 300, Pacifica, Town & Country, Avenger, Charger, Challenger, Journey, Dart, Durango, Magnum, Grand Caravan, Fiat 500, Fiat 124 Spider, Grand Cherokee, Renegade, Wrangler, Compass, Liberty, Patriot, ProMaster, 1500 and C/V Tradesman minivan may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

A compatible replacement miniature wedge base light bulb is part number 2825 (also known as W5W) or an LED unit.

The only tool needed to access and replace the light bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool.

Disconnect Power Plug
The first two steps are to open the trunk lid and then locate the cargo area light bulb housing.

Use a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool to gently pull the light housing out of the roof of the trunk.

Press the release tab on the electrical connector before sliding the power plug straight out of its socket.
