My instrument cluster illumination light blew out.

Can someone tell me whether I'll need to disassemble my entire FB instrument cluster, as shown in the image, to get to the little light bulb (Part 75115), in the back that provides 'general' illumination to the cluster? Or, is there an easier way?

Also, what is the purpose of 75115A? Will I need to replace that, too?

 

What's the trick to getting the instrument cluster out of the hole?

Been trying for an hour, no luck.

 

Any thoughts on the efficacy of a little TLC disassembly of an FB combo lever?

Or, should I trash it and get another?

 

Problem solved. A good clean out of the switch, fresh fuse and bulbs, tight connections, good grounds...folks. we have illumination. Instrument cluster illumination back.

But, now I have no turn signals.🤷🏾

Apparently there is some relay or something by the brake I should check? I was wrestling with the speedo cable for the instrument cluster. Maybe that did something to that component?

As for the RH headlight not popping up, that problem was fixed, too. I disconnected the motor link and cycled the system without the RH side; I reconnected the link and. Walla...lights going up and down.

It was a good day.🤙🏾

Power mirrors come next week. Them some sound dampening in the doors, vapor barrier, and door panels.

She's looking gooder and gooder.🤙🏾
