Well Done. Designed by engineers that never have to do the repairs.

I totally agree Phil. Thank you.

Just finished replacing all main bulbs with the help of this video. You made it very easy to follow, thank you. And yes it was much easier to move the cluster as needed by removing the shift indicator from the cluster. Saved me so much grief.

Man you nailed it. All the way down to the bulb! Funny thing. I went to my parts house’s and asked for the bulb. So I just come back now and saw you added it. Saved my ass twice in one video. Haha !!

Note. Some of these Ford Rangers have Philips head screws to hold the dash bezel in place. You also do not need to remove the light switch knob. As some Ford Rangers do not have a bolt behind the radio, but you still have to remove the radio bezel, as it covers the dash bezel. And those other light bulbs are Micro 86 bulbs.

I just replaced mine today. I used Sylvania 194. I bought them at Amazon in a 10 pack for $8.07 + tax. The seller I got them from offered free shipping. When replacing dash bulbs on these, I bend the two brass tabs on the bulb holder upwards very slightly so they will have better pressure against the printed circuit board. I have had dash bulbs that worked sometimes and sometimes not. If it's an individual bulb doing that it is generally a connection issue. This can be one of those connections.

@@LivinWith3M - I work on cars and do a lot of home/construction projects and many are so much easier because folks like you take the time to make/edit/publish these. My friend's son says that his dad and I need to start doing the same as we have so many tricks we have learned over the decades. Not sure we are up to it but maybe someday we will give it a shot like you did and maybe help someone else down the road. But, I'm getting ready to build a log home kit with that same friend and we are going to be so stressed for time to get it under roof before snow falls that it won't be for while if we decided to give it a try. Floor framing starts this week then the tricks arrive in 2 weeks so about to get crazy busy and hopefully a lot of fun along the way as well. Again, thanks for doing these - have a good weekend !

I never liked the dash lights in my 03' Ranger. The lines and numbers are dreadfully dark and and hard to see. After some lights went out, I went ahead and took the plunge to change all of them....to LED. What a change! That was 2 years ago, and all is good.

Awesome. Yeah if I change again then I’m definitely going LED. Thanks bro. 👊🏼

I would check all the fuses going to the dash lights first. Be sure to not just visually check the fuses, check them with an ohm meter or replace with new ones just to be on safe side.
