dash light replacement
Hi, anyone out there have step by step instructions on how to access dash light bulbs on a 1997 F150. 1/2 my main dash is out. Can't see gas or water temp. Thanks

I did it a little while ago, it is not that hard. The headlamp ****/switch is most difficult part. You remove ****, re-install 180degrees out, then turn switch backwards and it releases the switch assembly from the dash. And watch you don't hurt the shift indicator cable. Thats about it.
