instrument cluster

I just recently bought my 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition a couple of months ago. I didn't have any issues with it besides my EGR, which has since been replaced. However, a couple of weeks ago i noticed my turn signal would flicker on once when trying to be used. Then turn off. When I...

Recently my message center began to display a jumbled mess (see video at link below) I was wondering if this is a known issue or if anyone recognizes this. I am stuck in a situation where the thing lights up yellow and beeps at me on startup due to the oil life monitor, but I can't re-set it...

Rebuilding an abused 2002, manual 4wd V6, so I give it more sentimental value than bluebook. I replaced the entire wire harness in the dash which had been hacked and spliced ad nauseam, replaced the PCM which cleared a few other engine faults, and swapped a few GEMs salvaged from the junk yard...

I just bought a 99 Eddie Bauer edition 190k. I replaced the battery and the shift tube bushings.. before starting the vehicle I noticed the gas gauge was sitting at about an 1/8 of a tank and upon starting the vehicle the rpm gauge shot to 4k but the idle seems to be normal. Shut her down...

My speedometer/odometer is having an intermittent problem. Most of the time they work OK, but every so often, they just stop. I notice that the speedometer needle goes all the way to zero and the odometer stops turning over. Sometimes it will stop and start repeatedly then just quit. When I...

Hello All, I have a weird problem that has risen, and need someone smarter than me to help diagnose. So on the way to work this morning, with headlights on, I heard a click and the instrument panel lights turned off. The headlights stayed on. The stereo HU (an aftermarket I installed over a...

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum. I've had a 98 Explorer XLT for about 12 years now (hey, it's paid off). Recently the headlight switch on my instrument panel had begun getting so loose that I could barely operate it. So I found a video on youtube from 1aauto.com and followed the directions...

Ok a newbie here. Have had this 06 xlt for a few months. It has developed an intermittent instrument cluster problem. I'm driving along and all of the warning indicators come on simultaneously and the Speedo and tach go to zero. It has happened several times and my immediate fix was to turn...

I am getting an ECM and an Instrument cluster off of Ebay. I know the ECM has to be programmed to work with the truck but I have had several people tell me that the Instrument Cluster also needs to be programmed. It has something to do with the PATS technology and marries the keys, the...

I recently got new needles from a different year explorer (I got the white ones instead of red/orange). How do I get them back to read what I had before I replaced them? Is there a reset I can do for this ?

I'm trying to find a replacement bulb that fits in the "anti-theft" slot of the instrument cluster in my 98 Explorer. It has a red base on the bulb. Anyone know a part number? I have ordered all of the 164 and 37 bulbs but this anti-theft bulb is broken and I need anew one. Can't find info...

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and want to replace the instrument cluster to a black modern led instrument cluster. Does anybody have a instrument cluster they suggest? Any help is greatly appreciated.

i don't really know how else to explain it. Every day when I leave for work, I open the door and the gauges on my cluster start shaking. The interior light flickers once.If I leave the door open for prolonged periods of time, it will occasionally do it again. Timing is completely random. The...

I recently discovered my vehicle is equipped wit the tire pressure monitoring system (I had never known because I have never seen the light come on) by upon inspection of the wheels I have the fancy valve stems. I'm about to get new tires and figured I'd try and get this TPMS working because I...

I have a 2009 Ford Explorer. My question is what is the bulb number for instrument cluster. Half of my speedometer is not lighting up. I know how to replace the bulb. It appears to be pretty simple. My only issue is I do now know what bulb number is. I have searched the forums and have found...

So I pulled my cluster out to do an LED mod and take the blue 'paint' off the back of the faces, which entails removing the needles. Got the blue off of the faces and the faces back on, lightly attached the needles and put the cluster back in the truck with the stock bulbs for now until my LEDs...

I am looking at the Ford service manual for my vehicle. 2008 Explorer Ltd 4.6L. I want to: A. Find out how many instrument cluster illumination bulbs there are. B. determine which ones are working and which ones are out. C. Find out how to remove the Instrument Cluster and replace the...

I'm posting this because I'm planing on removing the instrument cluster in my '99 ranger. The tachometer either sits at zero or comes back to life with a punch to the top of the dash. I've read countless other threads about people with the needle sticking at 3500 rpm and even other posts with...

I've got an intermittent problem with the electrical in my stock 2005 Explorer. I've seen several threads where others have had the exact issue but never saw if or how it was resolved. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction! The problem is with the gauges/instrument...

i have a 2000 ford explorer and I just put an instrument cluster kit in to change my lights to blue instead of green and messed with the needles to determine things like where the gas is, speed, rmps, etc. All the needles among other things had to be removed but the needles were the most serious...

After replacing my parking brake shoes, I wanted to make sure I didn't drive off with the brake on, like I've done so many times in the past. I just don't notice the brake light on the dash until it's too late sometimes. Well, I know it's been done before, so I decided I could install a blinking...

Hi all, I just picked up a 2000 Ford Explorer XLS 4.0l v6 Manual. I have a little issue with the Oil gauge in the instrument cluster... It is somehow underneath the line... When the truck is off the needle drops to its lowest position (I have posted a pic of that). And when the car is on, it...
