clusterbezel9296.jpg Instrument Cluster & Bezel '92-96 (& '97 over 8500GVWR)
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

Be EXTREMELY careful unplugging the devices screwed to the back of the cluster bezel (ESOF switches, Bronco rear window switch, F-series tank switch or jumper plate, diesel warning lights).  As old as these trucks are getting, the plastic bosses for the screws molded into the bezel are VERY brittle.  It takes almost NO effort to shatter them, and they can't be repaired (although the devices can be re-mounted to the dash).  Replacement bezels are becoming available (both Ford & aftermarket), but not with ESOF or defrost cutouts:
