There sure is. You have to take the dash cluster out and put in new bulbs.

You have to take part of the dash part to get to the cluster.

There is a "search" function at the top right of the screen. It is your friend. Try using it.

Default odomiter???

so the mileage part on my truck is hard to see, is that the odometer or the part tha tells how fast your going? i was wondering why the part that tells you how many miles you have doesnt light up and tell you how many miles you have at night time like i thought it should.

It does. It also uses a bulb; one that is slightly larger than the other guage cluster bulbs. It is larger because it is brighter during the daytime (when parking lights are off), and dimmer when parking lights are on (nighttime).

Remove the cluster to gain access to these bulbs. The search will get you to the bulb part numbers, although your local Ford parts department will also be the place to buy them. Just be sure you mention to the parts guy you need the "information center" bulb rather than the guage cluster bulb(s).

Removing cluster is easy; remove the lower steering wheel cover, then remove the two middle screws that hold the upper cluster cover. Then unsnap the sides and pull back the upper cover. Now remove the two upper cluster wire connectors, the 4 screws that hold the cluster in place, and the center gear selector (for column shift models).

I am posting this because the newbies may not yet know about the search button.
