Section 13-01: Instrument Cluster, Conventional | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, F-Super Duty Motorhome Chassis Workshop Manual |
CAUTION: The use of vinyl cleaners and similar other cleaning agents to clean the vehicle interior or instrument cluster main lens (10887) has resulted in damage to the instrument cluster main lenses. The chemical content of these cleaning agents (O-dichlorobenzene, ethyl alcohol and/or cellosolve) has produced fogging, spotting, staining or splotches on the lenses, either through overspray or direct use on the instrument cluster main lenses. Therefore, extreme caution should be taken during interior cleanup to prevent overspray of cleaning agents which contain the chemical agents mentioned from contacting the instrument cluster main lenses.
Clean the instrument cluster main lenses with Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner E4AZ-19C507-AA or equivalent commercial cleaning product meeting Ford specification ESR-M145P5-A, using a clean soft, lint-free cloth. The Ford Glass Cleaner has been especially formulated for cleaning windows in vehicles and is approved for use in cleaning the plastic instrument cluster main lenses. Read and carefully follow directions shown on the container for best results.
