How to change dash lights on a 95 Ford Ranger?
Vehicle is in need of service...
Which lights?
Check your fuse. Usually the manufacturer has the dash lights and the tail lights on the same circuit.
The dashboard lights on a 1997 Eagle Talon can be changed by reaching up into the dash to get to the bulbs. Another way is to remove the dashboard screws and remove the front of the instrument panel.
Check to make sure the brake lights are working when the dash lights don't - usually it's a fuse in the brake light circuit.Om both of these, it is a tedious job not ot mess something up while working in the printed circuits etc. I suggest taking it ot a garage.
