How to remove the turn signal lightbulb of a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt?

I know that removing a bulb from the headlight assembly is pretty much the same for most cars. But with the 05 Cobalt, I cannot reach the back of the headlight assembly to unscrew the bulb holder + bulb.



I figured that I may have to take the whole headlight assembly out before I can take the bulb out. I loosened the screws securing the headlight assy to the frame but I still cannot pull the light assy off.

Turn signal 2005 chevy colbalt?

The left turn signal started flashing in double time. I knew that it meant I had to change a bulb and it is the back light that is not working. I don't know how to change it or what kind of bulb to buy. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to take the car in? It is a 4 door 2005 chevy colbalt ls. ThanksTurn signal 2005 chevy colbalt?if iam not mistaken, i think that car has those push-in bulbs. just tell auto zone what kind of car you have and they can look it up in the computer and tell you what kind of bulb you need, but i think you can change it yourself. if you dont have to disassemble the lens, maybe they will put it in or tell you how.

you may wish to try replacing the bulb unit. sounds like either the bulb is gone again or there is a short.2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?how about checking the fuse that might be your problem..........2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?10 pts for jarhed2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?Check the rear bulb and it's ground. Is the trunk seal in good repair? Any leakage and your bulb socket connectors will rust! :-)=2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?Replace the bulb.....but listen I had the same prob and water was getting in the tail light and it kept blowing the bulbs.

Have a garage check it for you.2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?You should inspect the socket more carefully, the ends inside can corrode. Try scrapping them clean, on both the bulb and socket. It would not hurt to test the bulb again to see if it is still good. You can also turn the signal on and with a tester see if you are getting current back there, if you use a light tester it will blink on and off. Just hook one end to ground and the other touch the terminal. You can get one pretty cheap at an auto store, in fact they may even come out and show you how to use it or test it for you.2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?well, usually a fast-blinking light means it needs changed, however, you said you did that and it was fine but broke again....

take it to a mechanic and have them check the fuse for that light.



we have light fixtures in our house that will insist on blowing the bulb after only a month or so....it's the electrical connection, not the bulb itself.

this sounds like a similar thing...



good luck!2003 cavalier left turn signal blinking fast in front but nothing in rear.?When replacing a bulb do not touch with your hands, use a rag or something. The oils from your skin will cause it to break as soon as gets hot. Don't know if this applies to your situation now, but it could be useful in the future.

How would I diagnose and change a burnt out light bulb (headlight/taillight) in my 1994 Crown Victoria?

My right turn signal lights up but does not blink. I have heard that this may be due to a burnt out light bulb. However, upon cursury inspection, all lights seem to work... so I think perhaps I need to take of the tail lenses and replace a bulb.

Thank you for your help!How would I diagnose and change a burnt out light bulb (headlight/taillight) in my 1994 Crown Victoria?the most common type of automtive bulb is a twist-type.

I know I am dumb, but how and the heck do you change a tail light bulb on a GMC 2000 Yukon?

When I use the left turn signal, I get a rapid flash. The front signal works, but tha rear and left rear brake light does not. I went to Pep Boys and bought replacement bulbs, but the heck if I can figure out how to get the lense cover off so I can replace the blown bulb.

Anybody have any experience? There does not seem to be any screw holes on the outside -- Is this a dealer or repair shop job? I need some help, any comments are appreciated and I feel like a goof for asking such a simple question.



Thanks!I know I am dumb, but how and the heck do you change a tail light bulb on a GMC 2000 Yukon?OPen the tail gate. There are two torx type screws holding the light assembly on.

Remove them, and give it a tug.

The bulb holders need to be turned about 1\4 turn, and pulled out.I know I am dumb, but how and the heck do you change a tail light bulb on a GMC 2000 Yukon?With that kind of gas milage, a tail light is the least of your concerns!I know I am dumb, but how and the heck do you change a tail light bulb on a GMC 2000 Yukon?YOU ARE NOT DUMB, That would be kinda difficult if you have never did it before and if you are in a rush. Just wait until you are less aggravated by it chill out for a moment, Then If and only if your feel you can take care of it then try again, If not just take it to Auto Zone when they are not so busy, And one of the guys in there will change it for ya. Unless you know someone else that will do it. I watch some one do that sort of thing before and It was pretty darn work, In the dark to but we got through with it. So just try that. Take CareI know I am dumb, but how and the heck do you change a tail light bulb on a GMC 2000 Yukon?yea

I had asked how to change a rear turn signal light in the back of a Chevy S 10..?

now I want to know how to remove the lens that covers the light bulb?I had asked how to change a rear turn signal light in the back of a Chevy S 10..?Let the tailgate down. Where the tailgate latched there is one screw and about 4%26quot; below that will be a second screw. Remove those 2 screws and the tail light can be removed.



Hope this helpsI had asked how to change a rear turn signal light in the back of a Chevy S 10..?In the bed of the truck, right in front of the tail light assembly, you will see some small holes. They are about 1 inch in diameter. If you look inside the holes you will see some bolts sticking out with 10 mm nuts. Take the nuts off and the tail light assembly will come off, then you can change the bulbs.I had asked how to change a rear turn signal light in the back of a Chevy S 10..?This depends on what year the S10 is. Older models use four T10 torx screws that go in each corner of the lens assembly.

Newer models are accessible after lowering the tailgate. Remove the two 10mm bolts and rotate the taillight assembly out by moving the bolted end out first and releasing it from the outer body clip.

Re assembly is the opposite of removal. Hope this helps. Christopher

How do you change a rear turn signal on a 95 neon?

i cant find any way to take the old bulb outHow do you change a rear turn signal on a 95 neon?My wife used to have a Neon. It's been a while, but IIRC, there are carpet panels in the trunk that are 'velcro'd' to the rear corners. You should be able to see a handle where you can pull them off. Once you've done that, you should see the back of the tail light assembly where you can remove the bulb holder for replacement.
