How do I remove dash enough to change bulbs in 2000 ford ranger?

First locate the screws hidden above the instrument cluster . If the truck has a tilt wheel shift it downward and put the vehicle in neutral if it has an automatic trans. The outer instrument cluster bezel will then bel loose at the top. Under the lower edge of the dash there are several hex head screws holding the plastic moldings in place. Remove all of them including the two holding the brake release handle. The dash face should then pull off. There are 4 hex head screws holding the cluster into the inner dash structure. Remove those and carefully pull the cluster out and turn it toward the left side. Reach behind the cluster and unplug the connectors. The bulbs are in removable black sockets which you will turn about 1/4 turn to remove. Remove and replace the bad bulbs and reverse the above process to reassemble.
