Climate Control Lights

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the list and have a question about the 97 F150 4x4 I just purchased. I noticed last night that the lights around the heater/AC controls do not work. How do you change these bulbs? I haven't had a chance to purchase a service manual yet. Since it contains so much more information, I'm trying to find a Ford factory service manual.

I'm new to the list, but not new to Ford trucks. I used to own an 86 Ford Bronco... I still have the factory service manual for it. I have always done all repairs to my vehicles, so hopefully I can contribute to the list in the future.

Thanks, Rob

Welcome aboard, Rob.

The trim piece around the climate control head and radio is just pried off with a screwdriver. Once that is removed, the head unit can be removed (4 screws) and pulled out enough to get to the bulbs.

There's a Bronc sub-forum here that can likely benefit from your experience. Check it out.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to replace the bulbs when I get home from work today.
The truck engine also has some pinging when under load. If it stops raining, I'll try to clean the MAF today.
