2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Dimmer Switch Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the instrument panel dimmer switch on 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: The first step towards servicing or repairing the instrument panel dimmer switch requires the battery power to be disconnected. The first step to access the instrument panel dimmer switch involves removing the center instrument panel finish panel through screws and electrical connector removal. The hood latch release handle receives placement after unscrewing it from its location. Proceed with the disassembly of the instrument panel steering column cover through the removal of its screws and afterward get rid of the instrument panel steering column opening cover reinforcement. You must first set the column-mounted transmission range selector lever to the side before slowly pulling out the instrument cluster finish panel by removing its screws from the instrument panel. Full removal of the instrument cluster finish panel requires disconnecting both the headlamp and dimmer switch electrical connectors. The process ends with unfastening the screws holding the instrument panel dimmer switch in position. The finishing series of installation involves performing the procedures in reverse order as removal progressed.
