DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Instrument Cluster and Panel Illumination
The instrument cluster and panel illumination system illuminates the following components:
zinstrument cluster (10849)
z audio unit (18806)
z A/C- heater control
z fog lamp switch
z transmission range indicator
z traction control switch
z rear window defrost control switch
The instrument cluster is a hybrid electronic cluster (HEC), which uses both hardwired circuitry and the
standard corporate protocol (SCP) communication network to transmit and receive information. The
Mustang instrument cluster backlighting has illumination bulbs that are installed separately from the
instrument cluster. The Cobra instrument cluster has a laminated, electroluminescent applique to
backlight the cluster . The electroluminescent applique and instrument cluster must be installed as an
assembly. SECTION 413-
