The instrument cluster removal process must begin through the instrument panel bulb servicing procedure. Remove the instrument cluster bulbs as a next step. The installation process should follow the reversed steps from the removal.

Service and repair operations for instrument panel bulbs begin with taking out the instrument cluster. Proceed with the removal of illumination bulbs as the following step. When installing the instrument panel bulbs follow the removal process in reverse order.

Safety comes first when servicing the headlamp bulb of the Explorer and Mountaineer because the bulbs contain gas pressure which can cause the glass to shatter if handled by the base. Keep the bulb off the assembly only during the moment before bulb replacement to prevent performance degradation and entrance of contaminants that could settle on both lens and reflector surfaces. Detach the lamp assembly from its position first before rotating the headlamp bulb counterclockwise one-eighth turn to extract the bulb. The installation of a new bulb can be performed by following the reverse steps of removal.

The first step for servicing and repairing the selector lever indicator bulb is to take out the selector lever assembly. Unlock the four tabs on the selector lever bezel before lifting the bezel toward the selector lever knob. Use a screwdriver to extract the bezel bulb retainers after which you must install new bulbs if it is needed. You should follow the reverse steps of removal to finish the installation.

Service of the warning indicator bulb begins with IC removal by uninstalling its 7 screws and IC shield. One of the base instrument clusters appears in this illustration while other clusters have comparable formats. Plunge the warning indicator bulb a quarter turn counterclockwise then raise it from the instrument cluster. The installation process of the new bulb requires following the reverse order of removal steps.

Services on the aerodynamic headlamps begin with flipping the headlamp switch and ignition switch to OFF mode. Disconnect the headlamp connector. Users must handle the halogen bulb through its base because touching the glass envelope could result in a breakage from pressure and scratching. The bulb retainer needs to be twisted counterclockwise by one-eighth turn before removing the bulb. Since the 9004 and 9007 bulbs share similarities they cannot be used interchangeably in the same installation. The bulb installation process requires users to insert the new bulb before making a one-eighth turn rotation of the bulb retainer clockwise for retention. Finally, reconnect the headlamp connector.

Service of the headlamp bulb starts with turning off both the headlamp switch and ignition switch. You must first detach the three pin-type retainers and two screws and the radiator air deflector before unbolting the headlamp assembly. Start by separating the electrical connector before freeing the tabs to detach the protective cover of the headlamp bulb. You must first disconnect the connector as well as remove the standard low beam bulb. The HID low beam bulb requires first removing its electrical connector and releasing spring tabs before bulb extraction. The electrical connector needs disconnection before high beam bulb removal. Returning to the original steps will allow you to install new bulbs with possible lamp adjustment required. Keep the halogen bulb gingerly because it stores gas under pressure which can break if it touches the glass envelope or encounters any scratches during handling; handle it by gripping the base section while refraining from touching the envelope.

Starting the instrument panel bulb service requires first removal of the Instrument Cluster (IC). First rotate the bulb one quarter turn to the left direction then pull it upward out of its housing in the IC. Reinstallation of the new bulb requires performing the exact opposite of bulb removal steps.

A technician must start headlamp bulb servicing on Taurus, Sable, and Taurus X vehicles by switching off both the headlamp switch and ignition switch. Begin the service by first removing the cover of the headlamp bulb access then turn the headlamp bulb counterclockwise for one-eighth turn to release it. Prevent personal injury by disconnecting the electrical connector then handle the bulb only by its base since it contains pressure gas which might shatter if you drop or scratch its glass envelope. People should not touch the glass envelope as they should keep the bulb out of the headlamp assembly for the shortest period possible to keep contaminants away from both the bulb and performance levels. You should replace the access cover only after making sure that the bulb is set properly when reversing the uninstallation process.

The headlamp service for the Freestyle and Montego alongside the Five Hundred requires both headlamp and ignition switches to be set to OFF until further steps. Toward removal of the headlamp bulb from the Freestyle and Five Hundred models users should twist it counterclockwise 1/8-turn followed by disconnecting the electrical connector. The headlamp assembly must be uninstalled first before removing the six bolts securing the headlamp bulb access cover for the Montego model. To remove and disconnect the electrical connector of the high beam bulb you should rotate it 1/8-turn counterclockwise. You can obtain the HID bulb from the Montego through the spring retainer release followed by an electrical connector separation. The process for bulb installation requires performing steps in reverse order to unsuccessful removal. You should handle the bulb by its base since error handling pressures inside keep it fragile and likely to shatter if the glass envelope gets scratched or drops. The glass envelope requires no contact and bulb removal from the assembly should happen only directly before installation to prevent performance-degrading contaminants. Operation of the headlamps must be prohibited when the bulb remains outside the assembly.
