Chuck; Still looking for that info you need but in the meantime here's what others have said when dash lights go out:
1)Before you do anything, make sure the rotary rheostat, on the dash, is rotated correctly to illuminate the dash lights. I know this is rudementary, but it needs to be checked to be sure
2) And another; My dash lights went out on my Lincoln LS , I un-hooked the battery waited about 30 min and hooked it back up and had no more problems . Also happened on my 03 Bird, all dash lights were out, did the same thing as the LS and problem solved
3) This guy says; Driving home last night in the dark, I did not have any dash lights on the dash cluster. Only light on was for the odometer. Rolling the dash dimmer switch up and down only turned on the floor lights (under dash). I have checked all fuses related to the dash, all appear good.
It's fixed, but a little pricey! After 2 hours of trouble shooting the problem with no dash lights in the cluster, the light switch and front electronic control module was replaced. Cost..$600 in
parts + $600 labor, $1200
part numbers: SPO 1w6z 148205AA Processor lighting & SPO xw4Z 11654 CA.............switch assy
4) Last one; Dash Lights not working. Speedometer does
Part number
1W6Z14B205AA Description Processor, lighting control Cost $532.00
I hope something here is useful. I'm still searching for cluster disassembly.
