  Q: How to service the instrument panel dimmer switch on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A:

  Start the instrument panel dimmer switch service by disconnecting the ground cable of the battery. The next step involves removing screws which attach the instrument panel center finish panel before setting it off to the side. The instrument panel center finish panel needs complete detachment after disconnecting all its connectors. Begin by disconnecting the Hood Latch release handle using both screws until it comes loose before extracting it from its place. The installation begins by removing the lower instrument panel steering column cover with screws then continuing with the removal of the lower instrument panel steering column opening cover reinforcement by removing its bolt. Proceed by moving the column gear shift lever out of position before taking out the screws during removal of the instrument cluster finish panel. Disconnect all connectors before you can take out the cluster finish panel. You should unscrew the dimmer switch for its removal. The process for installing the new dimmer switch begins with reversing the steps for removal.
