01 explorer 2 cluster lights out

Hi,

I have a 01 explorer with 78k on it.
I noticed 2 weeks ago that the 2 cluster light on the left side of the instrument panel are not working. All of the gages work fine but not the two light in the fuel level gage and i think the temp gage. But they are on the left side. What I did was remove the fuse and then re install it and I took off the lower dash just to jiggle some of the wires. I put it back together and they all worked for a few days and then the same 2 lights went out again. I don't have a service manual so i really don't know which wires to trace. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
James

try taking out the cluster and replacing the bulbs(194's)

I am pretty handy with a good knowledge of cars. Is it difficult to take out the cluster? I would like to try it now while I'm not that busy at work.

Thanks for your help,

James
