It's the bulb, not the ribbon. The ribbon will cause the missing pixel, not the light out. You do not need to take out the steering wheel and airbag. Adjust the steering wheel all the way toward you and down so you have enough room to take the cluster out. There are 2 torx screws that hold it in place. Disconnect 3 connectors on the back of the cluster and wiggle it out. Replace 2 small bulbs and it should be back to normal.
