Scheme 7
- Carefully pry off the lens with a small screwdriver (see «FRONT INDIVIDUAL MAP LIGHT REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/interiorillumination-lights/#interior-lights) ).
- Pull down the roof console (A) holding the center part of the roof console.
- Remove the moonroof switch (see «MOONROOF SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/sun-rooft-topconvertible-top/#power-moonroof) ).
- Disconnect the 20P connector (B) from the roof console.
- Check for continuity between the terminals in each interior light switch position according to the table. NOTE: Before testing, check the front individual map light bulb(s). When check for continuity across the diode, use the diode setting ( ) on the digital volt/ohm meter to check the diode bias.
- If the continuity is not as specified, replace the roof console as an assembly.

Scheme 11: Courtesy Light Replacement
- Carefully pry off the lens (A) with a small screwdriver. Courtesy Light: 2 CP
- Remove the bulb (B) from the socket.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
Scheme 12
Scheme 12: Vanity Mirror Light Switch Test
- Remove the sunvisor (see «SUNVISOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#interior-trim__sunvisor-removalinstallation) ).
- Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the sunvisor (B).
- Check for continuity between the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals. With the vanity mirror cover (C) opened, there should be continuity. With the vanity mirror cover closed, there should be no continuity.
- If the continuity check is not as specified, replace the sunvisor.
Scheme 13
Scheme 13: Vanity Mirror Light Replacement
- Wrap the tip of the screwdriver in tape.
- Carefully slide the screwdriver between the metal mounting ring (A) and the headliner until the tip of the screwdriver is resting against the lens locking tab. Vanity Mirror Light: 5W NOTE: Right side is shown. Left side is symmetrical.
- Rotate the screwdriver handle toward the center of the vehicle while pressing the tip of the screwdriver against the locking tab to release the lens.
- Pull the lens (B) down.
- Disconnect the 2P connector (C) from the light.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
Scheme 14
Scheme 14: Console Box Light Replacement
- Remove the center console (see «CENTER CONSOLE REAR SECTION REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#consoles__center-console-rear-section-removalinstallation) ).
- Disconnect the 2P connector (A) from the console box light. Console Box Light: 1.4 W

- Turn the bulb socket (C) 45° counterclockwise to remove it from the lens. NOTE: If only replace the lens, it is not necessary to remove the center console box.
Scheme 15
Scheme 15: Ambient Light Test
- Remove the roof console and disconnect the 20P connector (see «INTERIOR LIGHT SWITCH TEST/REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/interiorillumination-lights/#interior-lights) ).
- Connect the roof console connector terminal No. 3 to battery power and terminal No. 7 to body ground. The ambient lights (A) should turn on. If they do not turn on, replace the roof console.
Scheme 16
Scheme 16: Trunk Light Test/Replacement
- Open the trunk lid.
- Carefully pry out the trunk light (A). Trunk Light: 5 W
- Disconnect the 2P connector (B) from the light.
- Check for continuity between the No. 1 (+) and No. 2 (-) terminals. There should be continuity. If there is no continuity, check the bulb (C). If the bulb is OK, replace the trunk light.
Scheme 17
Scheme 17: Trunk Lid Latch Switch Test
- Open the trunk lid and remove the trunk lid trim (see «TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - TRUNK LID»(/acura/tl/iii-2006-2008/remont/exteriorinterior-trim/#interior-trim__trim-removalinstallation-trunk-lid) ).
- Disconnect the 3P connector (A) from the trunk lid latch (B).
- Check for continuity between the No. 2 and No. 3 terminals. There should be continuity with the trunk lid latch unlatched (trunk lid open). There should be no continuity with the trunk lid latch latched (trunk lid closed).
- If the continuity is not as specified, replace the trunk lid latch switch.
