really seems like you should just invest in a service manual for your truck. i find it hard to believe someone is capable of changing out the bulbs in the instrument cluster but can't find the 1 bulb that is in the heater control. there is also a bulb in between the wiper and headlight switch.

Thanks - I have the FSM on CD but lost my light last night as eve came too fast while I was working so posted a quick question - instruments came out great but was not sure where heater control light is accessed as there seem to be several iterations of how they were mounted on first gen trucks

Found it, mounts by snapping in versus the bayonet style of the instrument panel - I used the leds as shown in the YouTube video of the Dodge first gen cummins guy upgrading his panel. What a difference! Unfortunately, I need a few more bulbs for the 4x4 indicator lights and the wiper/light switch .onward upward, did a lot of cleaning while in there.
