My light went out on my trip and mileage gauge how do you get the dash apart to change the light bulb
I would seriously recommend going to the library and finding the manual for your truck, be it Haynes, Chiltons or other, and read the section on it, so that you are sure that you know which OTHER sections you need to reference ( they all are great for "do this" instructions without telling you where to refer to), and then copying those pages, or go to the local auto parts store and purchase the book outright. It is simply a matter of knowing WHICH screws to remove and which panels are just snap in. On a personal note beyond this, grab your owners manual and find out what the bulb is that you need. as well as the other dash bulbs, they tend to go out AFTER you have changed one and put everything back together. Use an electrical connector treatment to ensure the contacts stay clean and don't corrode, as dash bulbs tend to have cheap thin wire contacts, you may even want to check out LED bulb replacements while you are at it, and perhaps even change the das light colors if you wish. After all you will have all the bulbs open and accessible to you at the time. I need to replace the 4wd light on my jeep and will be changing over to all leds, since vibrations don't cause them to burn out, particularly since the bulb went bad while off roading...

It seems that the bulbs went out or the ribbon cable that runs behind the instrument panel burned out check on a junkyard for a replacement instrument panel and replace it, verify that the truck you pull out the instrument cluster is the same year and the same model.

you can try, but its just as much, if not more of a hassle then to just take it apart and do it right.
