The guy at Napa was trying to argue it was an LED bulb and was not fixable. Thanks man! This is a life saver!

Thanks Man. I know this video was posted years ago, but it still helped me out. I appreciate the tips and expertise.

Followed your example and the 74 bulb worked like a charm. Thanks, saved me a lot of money, total work time about 12 minutes just because it was 98 degrees.

I know that this is an older video, but thanks for taking the time to share it. I used this to quickly change this exact bulb in my 2006 F150 today. Literally took me about 20 minutes thanks to you.

Excellent video. My 07's just went out and I had no idea what or how to do to fix. Thank goodness there's people who share their knowledge.

I would just like to say that my Ford dealership quoted me $700 to fix that bulb. $700 for what you say should take 10 minutes. Thank you for sharing and helping other people like me

Thank you sir! I have used several videos to do repairs on cars, motorcycles, etc... this is hands-down the best DIY video I have used. Got the job done in less than 25 minutes on an 07 FX4.

37 bulb was on point. Just got it at auto value. The 74 bulb is a little bit longer(depth wise) I looked at both in the parts store. Thank you for this video. Literally could not find the part # anywhere, and no parts stores can look it up because they don't even have the info. Hats off to you guy. Been without the odometer light for years! Thanks for saving the day. The little things in life I tell ya.

This repair took me an hour to complete. I am impressed by your 17 minute video. I Cracked, then subsequently broke the foam area at the top of the dash into 3 pieces. Now I just open the door and the odometer reading is lit up! Thank you for posting and saving me money.

Just wanted to say thanks for the very informative instructions. I have a 2007 F150. With just a basic socket set, and a little effort being a non mechincal genius, took me about twenty being safe first, well done!

Thank you for posting! Extremely helpful and much easier than expected thanks to your instructions.

I have been putting this off for years thinking the cluster was bad on my 04. 15 minutes later its done. Thanks for the video!

Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to document the process and for adding the details on which bulbs to use. I had it swapped out in less than 15 minutes. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to explain how simple it is. Great video!

This operation worked out on my odometer , 04 super crew, using a 74 bulb. The only exception was that I removed about three screws on the plastic backing to access the bulb. It all works either way. Thanks for the video. Took about 20 min to complete.

KZfaq has saved me so much money. If it weren't for video's like this I would always be going to the dealer.

This video was very helpful but I undid the screws holding the lower trim panel also so it gave me more room to work with. I took me about 20 minutes to do this thanks to this video

Thanks a million, Joe! Just did this on my 2008 and it was as easy as you made it look.

dang thats awesome, I got a replacement cluster and noticed that screen does not light up so I can fix it now because of you. thank you sir.

Nice work. I love the step by step and explained process, thank you!

Just wanted to say thanks for the informative video, it was a great help. Took all of 15 min. Works now. Thanks

thanks a ton for sharing this. two things i really like, the yota key thing or whatever, and the chickens watchint u work

Hey joe thanks a lot recently bought an 05 with the same problem, and this video helped so much , my bulb was a lil hard to come of but I just turned it and it came out! From Long Beach CA take care.

Great Video! I have a 2008 Ford F150 4.6 V8 and this worked perfectly! When I picked up my light from O'Rielly they told me that sometimes instrument clusters lights are sautered into the casing. That got me worried, but this isn't the case on my Truck the bulb is all you need you can reuse the casing that comes with the truck when removing the old bulb.

Very well done video. After watching video, I changed out the bulb in about 20 minutes. Process was just like the video. Thanks for posting the video.

great video! made the job super quick. thank you

Thanks for a Great video! You took all the guesswork out of the repair!

Thanks man , I have been putting this off for too long but you made it look easy. I will get her done right away so I can stop using my cell phone light to see in the dark. Thank again and good video.

Just found this video and replaced mine in about 10 mins thank you!

Great presentation. I’m ready to change out my bulb.

Thank you so much!!! Just saved a ton of money by doing this myself. You are the man!!!

Thanks a lot! I did this in under 10 minutes, really easy to do.

Good job, buddy! Appreciate the helpful video. My light has been out a while, and it's a nuisance. This makes it a doable job for me. Bill

Good job ...thanks ! Will be doing mine this next week!

Thanks i went to auto zone and got a #74 bulb. That took longer than the actual install.

Thanks - Much better than the Chilton manuals I grew up with!

Great job and great video! Thanks for posting!

Thanks man doing mine now. Appreciate the detailed video

Thanks for the video, Bruddah. I have the same issue with my 2007 F150. I think I'm gonna change them all to LED bulbs

Cool man! very good explanation! I'm going to try it.

Great video work. I have the 2007 XLT I need to do this on and this is just the info I needed. Thanks for posting. FYI, my XLT does have the heated mirrors, but the switch for that is located below the climate controls, not on the cluster panel, so the extra plug behind there is for something else (models with switch for adjustable pedals?). Also, another difference between the #37 and #74 bulbs is rated average life. The #74 average life is 500 hrs because it burns hotter to get the additional candle power, while the #37 average life is 2500-3500 hrs. So the #37 may not be quite as bright but will last a whole lot longer.

Thank you, i too had to replace my odometer and your video was very helpful

Excellent "how to." Thanks!

Thanks! Mine just went out last night

Thanks Joe, you da man

Great video, but I had issues getting the cluster cover off. The back tabs stuck and if you lift it up to much the cluster cover will break. Just a warning if it doesn't come free pull it towards you and use a pry tool along the back or you will be gluing your cluster cover back together

thanks your video helped me out alot

Damn I was waiting to see how you got the shifter cable off the gear indicator! Maybe next time lol, well done just the same.

Good video. Thanks for posting.

Thanks a lot for this video.

Awesome job. Thank you

Probably the best video out there when it comes to working on and replacing this particular light bulb. Thank you!

Great video. I would not have had the confidence to do this without seeing your video first. Took me under 15 minutes knowing what to expect as I pulled it apart.

Some of you are having issues with the LCD screen not showing trip/odometer miles. The LCD screen has six silver prongs(Male ends) that sit inside a (female) sensor that is soldered to the cluster. If any of those prongs are out or bent the screen will go out. Suggest taking it out pull the LCD add a little bit of Di Electric grease and bam you should be back in action. If you look online in Ford Forums there are several pages of this same problem. A 15 minute fix could save you a bundle. Reply if you have further questions.

great job thanks!!

Good video. Thank you.

Thanks for the video really helped me out...

Thank you for sharing this

Thanks for the video

Gracias Amigo...!

Great Video! Saved me $100 that the dealer wanted. Bulb cost me $1.72 at NAPA

You can buy the led display for odometer seperately on flea bay

thank you very much for this video 😀👍🏼

Thanks, I;ll do mine

Awesome video. Thank for taking the time to post.

Very helpful video, but when I replaced this bulb in my 2007 F150 FX4, it still doesn't work? Any additional ideas? Should I be concerned about polarity and flip the bulb around?

Thank you for this video, plan on doing this to my '07. I have an emissions bulb that won't go out, while I'm in the back of the cluster could i similarly remove that bulb and leave gone?

super video.

Thank ya!

Thanks brother

I’m having blank mileage issue , of course stupid emissions test is in a few weeks.. wana try and get it figured out before I go there.

thanks

ok thanks

Good video im thinking of putting led florescent lights but im heavy handed, my luck i will break something

Thank you soo much!!!!!

I replaced the bulb and test it before replacing all the parts and it worked as it should. I put everything together and wouldn't you know it, bulb is out. I didn't have time to investigate so I'll check on it tomorrow. Could it be that the contacts are not sitting correctly??? If that is the case, how would I deal with the little prongs on the base that twists on there???

thanks, went to dealer and they gave me a number to call so i did its an hour away and they wanted $17500, and an hour wait. like i say thanks and sweet

how did u get the tempurtaure and compass on your LCD screne

How many bulbs total are in the cluster?

I replaced the #37 lamp and still does not light up...any suggestions.

Ty

What search word did you have them look up at NAPA because they can’t find it. I tried mileage bulb and dash instrument panel

This didn't go well for me. I was trying to get the light bulb holder out. It came apart and stuff fell inside the housing.

Nice video. If I wanted to replace my instrument cluster, are they all universal fit? I have an xl.

why are there two (2) different colors on the bulb socket ?

Dude! Thanks for posting. Mine has been out for about 9 years. You got chickens?

I have 2008 fx2 f150 and when I use the remote start the doors lock, honks once then turns on, but immediately shuts off and redoes the starting procedure, and keeps on doing the same thing in a endless loop, if anybody knows what might be wrong please let me know , ive checked the fuses and reset the alarm nothing has worked.

Gonna attempt to try this on the bulb. Don't have Tilt Steering,though. Can't move the steering wheel.The push knob for the milage,doesn't work either. Also,do you know anything about the defrost not blowing out,when the defrost is on ? It's a 08' Ford F150. The Heat works,and so does blower motor. Just won't blow out the dash when the defrost is on.

I have the cluster panel instrument panel out of my 2006 F150 and after I plugged it all back and I had no dash lights signal lights work but The Eliminator on the instrument panel cluster does not Flash

Thanks for posting this video. I'm going to attempt this myself in my fiancés truck tomorrow. Curious about something, I noticed when you were checking the light, the vents make a noise. What and why does this truck all of a sudden start doing that? I noticed his does it too. Thanks in advance

Hi joe, I tried to replace mine and it was difficult to get back in and didn't work when I put it back in. Like the chickens in the background LOL any hints great hearing Hannity on the radio.

This video was great and it took all of 15 minutes and a $2 light bulb to make it right. However, I noticed the ABS light coming on intermittently since I did this. Anyone else having this trouble or is my ABS failing?

Next do one without tilt wheel its much more difficult.. but thanks

Is it the same for the rest of the lights on the cluster. Cause the one that lights up there gas also went out. But upon taking them out I noticed they are 2 different sizes. You have any recommendations as to which ones to use. Please let me know asap. Ty

Does the compass on the cluster reset when disconnecting those two cables from the top of the cluster?

Do you have an idea on about what size torx head those screws are? I plan to swap out all the bulbs at once as preventative maintenance since I've had one go out recently.

thanks for the video... I just got a used 06, and the odometer went blank within 2 days, is it the bulb or is it something else?? Thanks.. . any and all info would be greatly appreciated... Thanks..

tried 2 times once with a bulb from auto zone and then parts from napa dont work !

What's the bulb size

Rpm working?
