Instrument Cluster & Bezel '92-96 (& '97 over 8500GVWR)
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

Be EXTREMELY careful unplugging the devices screwed to the back of the cluster bezel (ESOF switches, Bronco rear window switch, F-series tank switch or jumper plate, diesel warning lights). As old as these trucks are getting, the plastic bosses for the screws molded into the bezel are VERY brittle. It takes almost NO effort to shatter them, and they can't be repaired (although the devices can be re-mounted to the dash). Replacement bezels are becoming available (both Ford & aftermarket), but not with ESOF or defrost cutouts:

'92-93 no cutouts F2TZ-15044D70-A or aftermarket
'94-97 gas no cutouts F4TZ-15044D70-A or aftermarket
'94-97 gas ESOF no defrost F4TZ-15044D70-B
'94-97 diesel F4TZ-15044D70-C or aftermarket
'94-96 Bronco ESOF defrost F4TZ-98044D70-A

Removal:
1) Remove the headlight knob (3) and trim strips (4&5).

2) Remove 2 screws behind trim strips.
3) Pull bezel, unseating 3 clips along top edge & 4 below.
4) Disconnect fuel tank switch (F-series only), rear window switch (Bronco only), ESOF switch, &/or diesel warning lights as necessary.
5) Tilt steering wheel down and shift to 1 as necessary to withdraw bezel from instrument panel.
