2001 E250, pulling the cluster to swap the bulbs. There's a blinking blue ant-theft LED right behind the steering wheel that I don't see in any of the Youtube tutorials. Wire disappears into a tight bundle. How do I get that sucker out of there?

 

Clipped a hundred cable ties, and pulled the end of the wire out of this. Remote start? Alarm? Whatever it is, the truck still starts with the whole thing disconnected, so on we go.

Dash is much brighter now.

 

16 - Yellow ABS
19 - SRS

These 2 are voltage sensitive and don't like LED bulbs. If they can't prove out you might want to switch them back to non-led or by adding load resistor.

 

Thanks. I just swapped the big bulbs.

 

Then you should also swap out the big bulbs behind your climate control as well, should be same bulb, color wise it's up to you, just need to remove the big trim.
Find attached a dash removal in PDF in case you need that in the future.

 

They were both out, which is why I went in in the first place, so yeah, did that. Good pointer, though.
