EDIT: Additional searching found me a thread on another forum where someone said they are 74's. They certainly look correct. Anybody? |

I'm wondering the same things. Though my Ranger is a little older (97), it uses two different bulbs. 194 for general gauge backlighting and many tiny bulbs for each of the service lights (ABS, Check Engine, Seatbelt, etc,etc). Anyone know what size these tiny bulbs are?

Thanks man. It was so straight forward. I used the 194's cause they were the highest rated lights at the store.

Just bought these will try to get them in the dash as soon as they arrive and get pics for you all. Should look pretty cool when done |
my 92 was all 194s........ some where in the neighborhood of 12 for all the bulb positions. I keep a stock of them for all of my cars so I have LEDs in all of them now. Looks so much better.

Great instructions and helped us solve our problems with burnt-out bulbs in our 2000 Ranger. Thanks!
Unfortunately, during the bulb replacement something broke with the shift indicator, and I did not catch it until the dash was reassembled. Something else to fix now, and this one I really don't like :( |
Great info thanks.

1998 Ford Ranger instrument panel illumination LED polarities
Here are the LED polarities for my 1998 ford ranger.
https://flic.kr/p/qvUC9i |
Ok So I don't think my Dash lights are the problem for my truck, 98 ranger. They all went out at the same time and weren't really showing any fade. I do not have fuse #11 under the hood so that shouldn't be the problem if it has worked the whole time. I also replaced fuse 26 in the drivers side door. I need to check the other fuses in the glove box.
If it is not the fuses or the bulbs, what is the name of the relay I need to replace? |
