MikePurser Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The stop light on the drivers side needs replacing. The manual I have says its not owner-serviceable, but I am reluctant to take it in to a dealer just to replace a bulb. When I remove the fabric cover I see a metal plate and two light bulb holders. (couple of photos attached) However, I can't work out how to get at the bulb holders to replace the stop light. Can anyone help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 What year is your car? As from 2011 onwards the rear lights were changed and the stop lights are LED and therefore they are not owner serviceable.

MikePurser Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Its 2009 - so should be do-able I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambell Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Are the stop lights LED as if they are you definitely need to book it to get sorted. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete80 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looking at the pics I would say that the 2 bolts need to be taken off which may loosen the light cluster and take the connector block off and it can be pulled away, if it takes standard bulbs then that should be a quick replacement, if its led style then its a ford jobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondeo_tdci_chris Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Undo the bolts you can see being careful not to drop any down the carpet area when they come off, the light cluster will pull out and all you need to do is unclip the plastic bulb holder and replace the faulty bulb. Reverse of this for refitting but becareful not to over tighten the bolts as you can snap the bulb holder! If you do have led then yes it is a ford job :( 2009 Mondeo 2.0 TDCi Zetec + Zetec sports Pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinp234 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Fantastic!! Just Followed what was posted above and bulb changed in a Mondeo Zetec 2008, took about 15 minutes. A little tip to add, make sure when you are sliding the lens back into place that it has located itself properly into the plastic guide on the body. Thanks guys.. Big Help!

Klopp 6 times Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Just had same problem. Good news is that the nuts do not need to be taken off as the bulb holder just clips off through the hole shown on the above pic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
