Replacing Dash Lights
Hello all,
I haven't crawled under the dash yet, but the light in my 02 gear selector has gone out. I suspect a burned out bulb. Is there anything I need to know before I get under there? Is going in from the bottom even the correct way or do I have to remove the dash? Just a little advance help would be appreciated. Thank you, Mike.

I know we do not have the same Ford...but, on my 96 Explorer I recently replaced the burned out bulbs in the dash and had to remove the dash instrument cluster to do so. I had found instructions on this website on how to do it. At first glance in looked like a nightmare but in reality it really was not bad. Took me about 45 minutes ... maybe less, and that is because I was going slow and taking time out for a beer.
I did follow other folks suggestions in replacing all the bulbs and using the long life bulb types since I had the dash apart. Murphy's Law would suggest that if you replace just the one bulb and second one will go out just after you put everything back together.
