Moisture in Rear Combination Light / Water Intrusion Into Vehicle
Inspection Procedure (Continued)
6. Remove one or both lights that show evidence of moisture intrusion.
7. Inspect the back side of the combination lights for
evidence of plastic cracking around the mounting

.
NOTE
• The sealing gasket is a “ONE USE ONLY”
type gasket and MUST be replaced every
time a combination light housing is
removed from the vehicle.
• If servicing a rear combination light or
gasket, be sure to replace the hardware
with the NEW service parts (SU003-04650).
Repair Procedure
1. Inspect the sheet metal body panel adjacent to the back side of the light housing for evidence of
misplaced body seam sealer.
NOTE
Remove any misplaced seam sealer with the sharp end of the plastic pry tool
(SST# 00002-06002-01) being careful NOT to damage the painted body surface. If bare metal
should appear during the sealer removal process, use touch-up paint to cover any bare metal
areas before proceeding.
