Don't know off hand, you can view the owners manual online in case you don't have one in the truck. Sounds like a bulb(s) only.

pretty sure all of the instrumentation lights work off the same fuse. Replace the bulb.

Just pulled my dash apart for the same thing. My 03 Supercab had only 2 bulbs. Now if I only could get to the blow motor resister and replace it. I know it's in behind the glove box somewhere.

Blower motor resistor = lay on your back on front passenger floor and (with a flashlight) look up behind the glove box. You will see the blower resistor. Mine has a connector extension harness leading to it.

Is the blower and heat/AC all working correctly?? I mean is low low and high high on fan speed?? If so then the resistor is probly working. I would say check fuses and dash wiring. Funny question - does it help if you slap the dash over the climate control unit? Sometimes a connection can work itself loose and light will work intermittently. Are taillights/running light working properly?? On a bunch of cars, the radio/Climate control lights are tied in with running lights(parking lights) on the same fuse. Anyway, hope this helps, got a few things to check that I have seen numerous times before

That only affects the fan speeds - not the lights in the panel!

Partial thread hijack.

I know it's not his thread...or related to OP's... but I answered the question.
