Ford Ranger Instrument Cluster Problem

[Baker9]

I have a problem with my Ranger, it is a 2006 model, the older type with the Mazda lump under the bonnet. The dash instruments have stopped working, no speedo, rev counter, fuel guage or temperature guage, the warning lights work ok.
I have checked all the fuses and they are ok. I am trying to remove the instrument cluster to see what is wrong but I cannot see how it comes out.
Has any body on here ever done this even to replace the bulbs in the cluster?
Can this be done without removing the complete dash as it all seems to be one piece from door to door?

These people https://cartronix.co.uk/ repaired my sons speedo in his Focus, excellent service.
I'm sure that they would tell you how to dismantle it.

Hi, I know this is an old issue, any luck with fixing? If so, how did you?

I got it fixed but I don't remember how or what was wrong, not much help I know but I should have posted the solution at the time. It must not have cost much or I would have remembered a big bill.

Hi I have the same issue, no gauges but lights/warning lights work. Fuses all OK. Have you managed to fix yours yet ?

Thanks

I have this issue to, no rev or speedo or fuel gauge or miles display? Is it likely to be fuses?

Is your interior lamp working? Both nissan and mazda had a thing for powering the clocks from the same fuse, but it was never mentioned in the handbook.

Hi, the interior light not worked for years, but the dash items have. Just odd it went like overnight. Was fine one day, went out in it next day and that issue?

fuse ok ?

Hi, not checked yet, not sure which fuse it is? Looked in the panel near the ignition, but not sure which number fuse it is, do you happen to know? Thanks.

It was a few years ago but I remember Mazda having a vertical bolt either end of the instrument cluster, accessed from underneath. The instrument circuit board has two big connector sockets for the two loom plugs. You can see them if you look from the pedals upwards.

just had the wifes focus done the digtal milometer had stopped , apprantly a common problem and as the imboliser works through the dash can cuase loads of problems they had to find a second hand cluster reprogram it and fit £300 later

Ok not so good then. So could need whole new instrument panel. Just odd all gauges and speedo rev and miles all not work at once.

Fuse 33 5 Amp should be the feed to the Gauges

No. It was chasing down a drivetrain problem that the previous owner had disconnected the 4wd indicator lights to hide.
One of the two separate plugs is quite likely for the instruments and the other for the dashboard lights.
