[Bob Ayers]

.......sorry, Ryan has a limit set on the number of images you can post in one thread..........


Step #10 Using 7mm socket, remove 4 screws holding instrment cluster

Step #11 Gently pull instrument cluster out from the right side, far enough to reach the 3 electrical connectors. Electrical connectors have release tabs to push in before pulling
connectors:

Step #12 Instrument cluster lights are in black caps. Turn caps counter-clockwise to remove light bulbs

Step #13 Light bulbs pull out of black caps

Reassemble in opposite direction

Nice write up. I especially like the shot of the Made in the USA nutdriver.

Great observation Tony, I missed that one! The Ford logo, however, was intentional, and had nothing to do with changing the light bulbs.
