You will need a cross point screw driver
SOURCE: Need to replace instrument cluster/AC bulbs
Hello, You can obtain a 2004 Ram Factory Service Manual with all of that information available from Promanuals.net. The reason why it may be so important is because right before the removal instructions the service manual has diagnostic instructions to try. There are numerous pages on removing the instrument cluster, and cluster bezel.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. (For Airbag)
(2) Remove the cluster bezel from the instrument
panel. (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/
CLUSTER BEZEL - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove the four screws that secure the instrument
cluster to the instrument panel structural support
(Fig. 5).
(4) Pull the instrument cluster rearward far
enough to access and disconnect the instrument
panel wire harness connectors for the cluster from
the connector receptacles on the back of the cluster
housing.
(5) Remove the instrument cluster from the instrument
panel.

grab both sides of cluster and just pull unit towards you. Nothing holds it in but 4 clips and 4 rubber grommets. Just dont yank too hard or youll pull wires off the back.

I had a similar problem with my 2006 Jetta one month ago. You need to have a friend sit in the driver's seat while you stand fifteen or twenty feet behind the car. Have him or her press on the brakes, press the brakes and turn on the emergency flashers, turn on the blinkers with the brakes on and off. Eventually you will find out which bulb is burnt out and it is a breeze the change the bulb. It took us several combinations of brakes/blinkers and looking at the front and back of the car to finally see which headlight was burnt out.
These instructions are generic and should work with most cars.
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery of your vehicle with an open-end wrench and move the cable out of the way so that it does not fall back onto the negative terminal.
Locate the bezel that holds the clear instrument cover in place. Remove the screws holding the bezel in place and remove it by pulling it straight up and away from the dashboard.
If possible, lower the steering wheel until it is completely tilted downward. Remove the screws holding the instrument cluster to the panel.
Holding the top of the instrument cluster, tilt the panel toward you until you have access to the light bulbs behind the instrumental panel.
Locate the burned out bulb and remove it by pushing in and turning counter-clockwise to release the bulb from the socket. If the panel has multiple bulbs, consider replacing them all at once; if one is burned out, the others are likely to follow soon.
Place a new bulb in the socket and then tilt the intrument cluster back into position, securing it with the screws.
Tilt the steering wheel back into its normal position and place the bezel cover back in place, securing it with screws.
Reattach the negative battery cable to the battery and then turn on the dashboard lights to verify the new bulb is working.
