Instrument Cluster setting ODOMETER

[ecmustangs]

Have an 05 GT automatic. Had to replace the cluster with a used unit. The mileage data is stored in the cluster. My understanding is the Ford dealer needs to do a "re-learn" to set the mileage correctly using FORD IDS. I called my local Ford dealer and they had no clue what I was speaking of (they referred me to a local cluster rebuilder).

Any thoughts or info greatly appreciated.

theres a service online that does it..but you have to show a pic of the original millage ..

i think ford can do it,, but which dealer can, would be anyones guess

still have the old cluster? Likely it just needs new stepper motors.

I found a guy on eBay who can reprogram, but had to send my original cluster to "prove" the accurate mileage. I got a great shape junkyard six-gauge GT (to replace my "deluxe" four gauge cluster). Was well worth the $100 I spent.

Replaced dash cluster, need Odometer help/advice

My 2008 Mustang GT "Deluxe" center stack had some cigarette burns (not mine, lol - see my new owner thread from October https://www.s197forum.com/threads/new-member-from-baton-rouge.146118/ ), so I looked at replacing. During my review, I saw a post about swapping the four gauge dash with a six...

thanks man. my six has a screwed up cluster due to leakage around the wind shield and wiper trough and that destroyed the motors on everything in the cluster exept for the tach.

The dealer can do it. They need an IDS and use what is know as AS Built to manually enter Data

Yeah, that's just that particular dealer, Dealers can reset the new cluster. I looked at the same thing for my 2008 that had a Deluxe set up. You can go online looking for the Primum cluster and it will also list companies that can reset the new cluster to the correct mileage,
