This is one of the best made videos on automotive repair that I have ever seen. For a person making a video alone, the imagery was very well done. Jason provided outstanding description including exactly what size fasteners were involved. The only criticism that I can make (really minor) is that Jason did not mention that the dash indicator light are the small white/grey/yellow items that look just like the illumination sockets that he did point out. It just happens that it is the "check engine" indicator that I have to replace. Jason, thanks much for such an excellent video! Bill

Three comments. 1: Thanks. 2: Should show how to disconnect electrical connectors. 3: On the other hand, none of the connectors need to be disconnected. The radio needs only to be moved out far enough to allow the other panel members to be removed. The panel member with the light switches can just hang. The instrument cluster, once the screws are removed, can be moved sufficiently to allow you to remove each of the lamp holders and replace the lamps without disconnecting any wires.

Thanks for the great video. All that for a dash bulb. Now I know that I can live with a burned out bulb behind the battery meter in my 2003 Ranger.

This step-by-step video is excellent! It's very easy to follow and understand the way you take your time explaining AND SHOWING the process of where each screw is hiding. I have to remove the cluster on my 1998 f-150 to replace all of the bulbs. I wasn't sure how to go about it, but after watching this,... I'm ready! Thank you very much for posting this.

Excellent video. Please show how to remove and install the radio w/cd on a 2002 Ford F-150 XLT 4.2. Or anything on the 4.2. That's what my wife drives. I just changed out the HVAC Heater Pipe p/n KT-71. (Google: KT-71 HVAC)It's sits on top of the water pump. It's metal and tends to rust and separate where the o-ring sits. The bottom part below the o-ring was stuck in the water pump. I had to use a seal puller to pull it free. New part is installed and no more leaks. Keep up the good work!

I put the radio removal on my to do list.

Very good detail. Do you know if the clear lense that covers the gauges can be removed without pulling the entire multifunction unit out of the dash? I need to clean the area where the gauges are due to small debris/dust and a stinkbug that crawled in there, got stuck and died. Crazy but true. Thanks for the video

If you unplug the cluster to replace bulbs and then reconnect the same cluster, will the vehicle still start up as usual? Does unplugging the cluster require any further programming or will it remain the same and start right up?

FordTechMakuloco commented on 06 May 2015

+Anthony Russo Nope nothing changes when it is unplugged.

I have a 2006 Mountaineer. All the light and gauges work on the cluster however the odometer section will not display properly. It looks like the code from the Matrix movies. lol. Do you think that could be a bulb or wiring issue? I was going to remove the cluster to investigate but if it is nothing that I could service then to a dealer I will go. Thanks

FordTechMakuloco commented on 11 Dec 2014

+Chad Eisenman No I would goto the dealer for this to see but likely you will need a cluster which they have to program anyway.

I have a 07 explorer. Replaced the cluster but now it won't start. Is the cluster the one holding the key code or something like that?

FordTechMakuloco commented on 27 Sep 2014

Dealer only item on the manufacturer scan tool.

semcogroup commented on 27 Sep 2014

+FordTechMakuloco is this something a locksmith can do? or only dealer?

FordTechMakuloco commented on 26 Sep 2014

Yes theft is controlled by the IC. The dealer must program the ic to the vehicle and do pats key programming. You will need 2 sets of keys.
