depends on the year on a 2005 you have to remove the rear cluster.
To change the rear light cluster, first gain access to the boot, then remove the three plastic covers located directly behind cluster in boot these give you access to three 10mm nuts. To remove these nuts you will need a 10mm socket and a medium reach extension bar, remove all three nuts being careful not to drop them and the rear cluster will come away from body work then remove the lampholders to remove cluster completely. This is also how you would change a bulb in the rear cluster if you need to.
open the boot you will find 3 screws undo them then ease the cluster away from body then remove the bulb cluster its easy to do
I have an estate, so the procedure might be slightly different on a hatchback, but not by much. The rear light cluster is attached via a screw behind the facia panel at the back. You will need to remove the plastic panel in the boot behind the light cluster and unscrew the unit before you can remove it to change the bulb.
I found this tricky too. It's not that obvious and it's different to how it works on some other cars I've had. Undo the 2 screws on light cluster. Then to get the cluster out, if you are standing at the rear of the car and you wish to remove the left cluster, move it slightly to the left to release it from its fixture, then pull it towards you. Once you have release the light cluster, you can remove the individual bulbs via the rear of the cluster - rotate the bulb's round plastic fixture and then pull it out.
the left rear indicator light is only working intermitantly, how can this fault be rectified
IN THE TRUNK, REMOVE PANEL NEAR REAR LIGHTS. IF THE BACK OF THE BULBS ARE VISIABLE THEY ARE EASY TO REMOVE. IF NOT, CHECK FOR SCREWS THAT HOLD THE TAIL LIGHT CLUSTER IN PLACE. REMOVE SCREWS, REMOVE CLUSTER, REMOVE BULB. I HOPE THIS HELP. GOOD LUCK.
open the tailgate ,and at the side of the light cluster you will find a small round pop out plastic disc, behind which is the release screw for the light cluster.
Changing a Punto rear lampThere are two bolts to be unfastened to release the whole of the rear light cluster. The first is inside the car, just to the side above the top of the rear seat. The bolt can be unfastened using the plastic tool which is in in the boot with the spare wheel. Also, this bolt may be covered with a plastic clip, to match the vinyl at the rear of the car. The second bolt is hidden inside the boot; the 'carpet' in the boot may need to be pulled back near the rear light cluster. Once the two bolts have been removed (with care, don't drop them down the cavity), the rear light cluster can be removed. Next, unclip the plug to the light cluster so that it can be removed. Finally, unscrew the rear of the light cluster (four screws) and replace the bulb. This has to be the worst design ever and makes changing a lamp quite a hastle! .NickThere is a good video on YouTube how to do this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zsPZM-6DvM&list=UUe7_90E_rJSOeU92x1m7Wsw&index=6&feature=plcp
Open the Boot Door and on both sides at the rear of the light cluster housing their is a panel that removes by turning the plastic knobs. [this compartment holds the first aid kit and sometimes the car jack] when the case cover is removed you will see the rear of the light cluster, remove the wire connectors to the bulbs. At the top and half way down there are large white plastic screws nuts. remove these by turning with your fingers making sure not to drop them when they become loose. After removal the rear light cluster can be removed from the back of the car and inside the cluster you will see the rear of the target bulbs and some retaining clips, unclip the clips and the light bulb housing will be free from the light unit and at this point you can remove the target bulb and replace it. Refitting is a reverse of the above procedure.
Bad earth connection at light cluster?
