How to Wire the Dash Light on an F-250

The dash lights on your Ford F-250 are a part of the truck's instrument cluster and serve two purposes: two illuminate the gauges on the instrument cluster and to serve as a warning light when your truck needs maintenance. The wiring connector of the dash lights is located at the rear of the instrument cluster itself. In order to access the wiring connector, you will need to remove some of the dash trim to remove the instrument cluster.

1

Lift up the truck's hood and disconnect its negative battery cable using a socket wrench.

Uninstall the two screws from above the instrument cluster below the upper dash trim with a Phillips-head screwdriver, and remove the trim.
