95 explorer instrument cluster

I have one of the automotive books for the explorer and I have read several of the threads that pertain to the instrument cluster. What I need are the details on how to get to the cluster.

The book has you remove the lower pannels which I can do. Then you are suppose to remove the upper pannel. This is where I have the problem. I can remove the visible screws underneath the top edge as well as the screws at the stearing column area but the pannel still won't come off.

There appears to be a connection "behind" the bezel that goes around the radio area but no mention on this having to be removed. So I assume I am still missing some areas to unscrew before the top pannel will come off.

What I need to do is replace the BULBS.....

thanks for you help

several bulbs went out in my dash on my '95 Exploder as well, you have to remove the radio/heater bezel as well as the other panels in order to remove the the dash panel covering the cluster, If i remember correctly, there is a screw underneath that can only be accessed by removing the radio/heater bez.

That's kinda what I figured, but HOW do you remove the Radio/Heater Bezel? Do you have to remove the RADIO first? Or does it just "unsnap"?

Thanks
