How to Replace the Dashboard Bulbs of the Ford Ranger

Model: Ford Ford Various
Part: Instrument cluster

Video tutorial

This guide shows how to replace the dashboard bulbs of the Ford Ranger. The first operation to perform is to undo the three 7 mm screws located at the top of the dashboard compartment; undo the two 7 mm screws located under the radio.

Using a trim tool, pry the lower part of the central console trim to detach it. Disconnect all the electrical connections located behind the removed panel. Remove the 7 mm screw on the left side of the opened compartment.

Remove the plastic panel under the dashboard by undoing the four 7 mm screws. Undo the screws securing the metal partition and undo the remaining 7 mm screws that are exposed.

Lower the steering wheel completely and, if the vehicle has a steering-mounted gear lever, engage first gear to create more working space. Detach the protective trim of the dashboard and undo the four 6 mm screws.

Remove the instrument panel, taking care with the electrical connections. At this point, you can remove the black bulb holders: they contain the instrument lights.

The reassembly procedure is completed by following the steps performed so far in reverse. Check the correct operation of the replaced lights.
