Electrical problem
2003 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Automatic

I'm trying to replace the bulb on the driver's side rear turn signal. I've removed the liner from inside the trunk that exposes the back of the signal, but I can't figure how to remove the bulb. I've also removed the wiring harness.

There is a small tab that looks like an arrowhead. When it's depressed, I can that slightly rotate counterclockwise the bulb and connector, but the travel is limited. I thought it should rotate clockwise, but I'm unable to figure out how to do that. What am I missing?

I've included a picture. Thanks for any insight.[img:e430256477]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/400079_turn_signal1_1.jpg[/img:e430256477]

Pull tab up and rotate clockwise, pull out.
