How did you read T-Ray instead of Tire? I’m confused. Also why does that instrument panel look like it’s off a 2009? 11-14 f150s come with a bigger display that has a menu you can scroll through
Great video. How much was the cluster and do you really need the computer with software or can I just pull out the old one and replace with new (plug n play)? For me the needles on the top 4 guages stopped lighting up. Everything else is fine. Couldn't I just replace the light or do i hVe to replace the entire dash?
You could send out the cluster to be rebuilt. That would allow you to not have to program anything. And ot would be cheaper. A new cluster is approaching a thousand dollars installed
Disculpa a donde podria enviar mi cluster para q lo reconstruyan? Mi cluster no enciende la luz del velocímetro ni el de las rpm , estoy en monterrey mexico Sabes cuanto costaria reconstruirlo aprox?
Mine did the same and I bought a used one off E-bay with lower miles than my truck. You can replace the LEDs but they're surface mounted and you have to dissassemble the gauges, remove the needles, etc. then desolder the bad one and solder on new ones... also it could be a board issue that new LEDs might not even fix. Most used, good condition clusters tend to be less than someone will charge you to 'fix' your cluster. I'm not sure if the onboard LEDs that aren't working are in series... probably easier to buy a used one off E-bay, copy your current setup config and then apply it to the new cluster with Forscan. Forscan can also add mileage to the cluster, so buy one with less miles than you have. You could also buy one with the fancier screen and replace your left steering wheel control if you want... basically they come in two varieties... the basic screen and the LCD one that requires the steering wheel control to navigate. Then there are cosmetic differences... black needles, silver needles, most have the blue back lighting but some like FX models and Raptors have red lit needles\gauges. Some models like my Limited had 'Limited' on the original gauges... I replaced with a sliver bezel'd one from a Platinum, silver needles with blue back lighting. Investing in a Forscan cable is a good thing if you like to work on your own stuff. It's also nice to be able to see your top needles in the dark again... :)
My pleasure! Btw, I think I'm going with the FORScan ELM327 first, (or should I be going for OBDLinkEX, because it auto-switches?) then probably also a BlueDriver, later. I have a couple other cars that could use some scans, that are Chevy, and Chrysler (my parents cars) and the fact the BlueDriver streams the data to my phone via bluetooth, is pretty cool! I could use it as a guage display for all kinds of stuff, if I need to watch something while driving. Your advice on the FORscan makes the most sense, for now, for all the Ford-specific items in my Fiesta. Thanks again for the great advice, my friend! @@BigBensCarsAndCycles
Ok I just got a deal 3 grand for 2014 it needs instrument cluster replacement so quick question i have to have a shop to link it to the truck if I do this qork my self or can I program it my self
Nice deal. You should be able to pull data from the old module and upload it to the new one with forscan. But if you don't want to do all that, for not much more the dealer can program it
850 you have lost your mind the part cost $140 and you're going to charge somebody $850 to replace the cluster in their vehicle damn I don't want to bring my vehicle to your shop watch out for this guy he's a crook
Good job. Thank you for sharing this.

You don't have to change all the cluster, just replace those 3528 smd led and it's done
The LED's can be easily desoldered and replaced.
Great video.

You're pretty funny man. You're going to do great on YT.
Thank you very much! And I appreciate you watching my videos!

I'm going to learn a lot from you, about my car! I know it! @@BigBensCarsAndCycles
I installed one off ebay. It has the miles of the replacement displayed. How do i reset it to the miles of the truck?
You can increase miles with forscan. You cannot decrease
Where did you buy the new one? I have been looking everywhere online and cannot find a gauge face with blue needles like that to save my life.
That was an entire cluster I put in. That was at the dealer

Holy Shit! 0:01
What?
What software did you use?
can u install this with use of computer? will this mount and function properly?
Hi. I don't understand. Can you elaborate?
Can you just remove the glass? I got a dead spider in it....
I'd have to look to know how, but i'm sure you can. I couldn't find a clear shot in the video of that.

@allanmik2904 hi, that's what the dealer charges. The labor is only about an hour, so most of the cost is the part. Oem is more expensive
