Dash lights

[JohnM]

All dash lights went out, except for rpms. Fuse is ok. Took cluster out to change bulbs, but the ones I got were too big. Auto parts stores do not list these bulbs in inventory. There are ten bulbs. It doesn't seem logical that they all went out except one. I was told that it is suggested to change the cluster. Has anyone experienced this and what was the solution? Thanks!

Welcome!

It does seem odd that all went out but one. My truck has one light out but its not enough to bother me.


If you move your one good bulb to another spot, does it still light? Try one of the bad bulbs in the one good spot?

I don't remember what the bulb number is but the information is out there with an internet search. The auto parts stores have them but for whatever reason, most parts stores don't list what that number is. It is frustrating.

I found this in the tech section. It might help. https://www.therangerstation.com/ranger-tech/1983-2011-ford-ranger-light-bulb-guide/

I want to say 194 rings a bell.

This tech article confirms it and gives the bulb number for the other lights. https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/how-to-replace-instrument-cluster-lights/
