I have a 99 ranger with the fuel lamp out and I want to know how to replce the bulb that is out.

 

You'll need to remove the instrument cluster and then remove the socket and replace the bulb, I like to replace all of them so I don't have to do the job a second time.

NOTE: When the battery is disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 16 km (10 mi) or more to learn the strategy.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.

 

And, if you are lucky like I was, you will get it all back togather with only 1 screw left over. Good luck.
