Bulb number

[Red63440]

Need the bulb number for the light in the trunk....its not given in the owners manual.

 

[Dodge 330]

1003

It's in the service manual.

Thanks, don't have a service manual but I'm glad you do! Need a 67 for the license plate too.

The ONLY reason I have a Factory Service Manual is last summer I was sitting at a park after walking around all day at a car show. A gentleman sits down next to me and starts talking (no Mopar stuff on me OR him) and finds out I'm into Mopar. He asked what kind of car I had and I showed him photo's of my '63. He says "Wait here, I need to go to my car!" walks over to a grungy little Capri convertible and brings back a very pristine original '63 Dodge manual.

I ask "How much?"

He says "Twenty bucks".

How lucky can you get?

When you consider all of the benches, all of the times and all of the different cars that were made...I think you were to have that manual.

UPDATE.....The 1003 bulb is a single contact bulb and will not work in the factory fixture. What is needed is 1004 which is a dual contact, single filament bulb.

That's odd!

they list it as a "Trunk and /or Under Hood Lamp 1003"

On a related note, I didn't have headlights working on mine yet.

I checked the fuse panel, all connections and everything looked fine.

Wiggled the headlight switch tonight and everything came to life! Heck even the dimmer switch and the dome light work!:icon_cool:

They have two wires to the fixture, one goes to power in the rear harness. The other wire has a push in bullet end that goes to the plunger switch on the edge of the trunk lip. You always have power to the fixture but no ground until the trunk lid is opened...thus 2 contacts. The only way a single would work would be if it was on a manual power switch and grounded at the fixture. This works the same way as the dome light with the door plungers. Just for shits and giggles, what bulb do they call for in the interior dome light?

Glad you got things working, is it a bad headlight switch?? Think I would replace it, it would suck if if it quit on you in the night.

 

[Dodge 330]

Dome lamp is 1004.

The headlight hadn't been used for probably 15 years, it was just sticky.

I figured that the dome bulb would be the same since it works in the same manor. On a different line, who has the rubber outer edge seals for the tail light housings?

Bob,
On your tail light housing,I used 3/16" window washer hose,split it and it looks identical to the origional.Also,most die cast emblems/script used self threadind 3/8 pal nuts.Measure the pin size and let me know,I have a lot.
