99 Intrepid dash bulb

One of the dash bulbs in my '99 Intrepid has burned out. The FSM has a
long, involved process of tearing half the car apart to get at it. Anyone
found a shortcut?

Cheers.

I don't know what FSM you're reading, but it's not nearly as involved as
you make it sound (10 steps and less than a column of text, and not a
single flip to other sections to complete the procedure). No shortcuts
(unless you want to break something). Just do it.

If you think that procedure is unnecesarily complex, read thru what it
takes to replace the a.c. evaporator

Yeah - I plan to (hopefully this summer). But in anticipation of the
"wonderful" experience, I have read thru the procedure - which may be
the reason I'm procrastinating about it. I hate it when the procedure
has you flipping from one section of the FSM to another, to another, to
another, ad infinitum.

Not really that hard , for the first time though I guess the hardest part is
finding all the hidin screws.. Not sure what year you have but the newer
ones have a hiding screw behind the receiver drier.. I don't think the book
showed that.
You can do it Bill!!! I got faith in ya!

It's a '99. Thanks for the encouragement - just have to make the time.
