[V8] V8 Digest, Vol 86, Issue 13

Should b in located rite under the trip comp....the 9 or so little square's. Should b bottom middle.
It's easy enough to pull the cluster and put the bulb in. Once the bulb is in you'll have to pull the two side carpet pieces on the sides of the shifter column.
If u look in there (pass and driver side) once there off you'll c a Black wiring loom....the CEL connector is taped to either side of that Black harness. Just snip the single piece of Black tape and connect the connector from the pass and drivers sides.
 It'll b easier if u pull the climate control and radio.
When u put the CC back in make sure to guide the CEL connection on top of the CC. Modual cause there is very little slack in the wire when u connect them.

 At this point u can use a piece of 10g wire or paper clip even to pull codes.

But it wasn't full bright, and no codes.Checking through the notes, I found I had a fuel relay (relay #10) with a fuse holder in the top, with a fuse in position.  Removed fuse, followed procedure. ECU codes output.  Job done.No joy on the TCU though, but that's another issue...
