Instrument Panel Illumination

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PANEL ILLUMINATION

The instrument cluster and panel illumination system illuminates the following components:
- instrument cluster
- audio unit
- A/C-heater control
- fog lamp switch
- transmission range indicator
- traction control switch
- 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.
