MasterMake sure your dimmer switch is not turned all the way down. When you say the light when out, do you mean the back light at night, or just the green numbers are gone?

Bulbs are twisted into the cluster onto the printed circuit. Be very careful, as all components are fragile and can be damaged.

Visitor, January 29, 2011, 22:09ReplyI had this very same issue on my 07 F150 XLT. Luckily, my warranty covered it (30000 miles). It is not as easy as changing out the bulb, because there isn't one---the entire LCD cluster must be replaced as the backlight is internal to the cluster. 2-300 dollars will cover it as well as you will need to bring in both keys to be reprogrammed by the dealer as it also works in conjunction with your anti-theft system.
