How to properly upgrade your base model instrument cluster on your 2004-2008 Ford F-150 XL or STX from the speedometer only cluster to any upgraded model from a XLT, FX4 or Lariat. I will be using Forscan to flash the cluster with a BBFly Elm OBDII device. You can buy it here (Amazon Paid Link) amzn.to/3eLXWcE and get Forscan here forscan.org/do... (Windows PC). You will need an extended license which you can get here for free. You must register. forscan.org/fo...

I never tried anything like this before. I ordered what you showed in the video and followed it step by step. I am a mechanical engineer and I am a little technically savvy, but I think anyone could do it. Thanks for making it easy.

Followed to a tee, the chimes in the truck were almost in sync with your truck in the video lol. I had to swap my cluster in my 06 stx due to it malfunctioning with the classic loose solider joints issue, which I had repaired once before couple years ago. One of my employees wrecked my 07 xlt so I just had a tach cluster anyway on hand, but I needed to be rid of the compass/temp/TPMS system in the program. Worked like a charm with all items and instructions. Thank you

I was just told from a garage that to fix my gauge issue, I would have to have my truck recalibrated at the dealership and it would cost me $1000+. I’ve watched these vids and this looks relatively straight forward. Is it permissible to go back there and whip them with a stick for appearing to have boldly lied to me LOL?

I've got an 06 F150 XL, the dome lights never worked, nor do the cargo lights, the door ajar message does show when the doors are open, there is no power at the dome light and cargo light sockets, crazy thing is when I switched out bad third brake light housing with LED's, the computer went bonkers, every relay in the fuse box was rapid clicking, the truck wouldn't start, and the PATS light was lit solid, I had to switch the cargo bulbs back to regular bulbs to get the truck back to normal again, this ruled out a switch or wire harness issue at least. I've been having issues with the odometer backlight working when it wants to, also the ABS and e-brake like stays on all the time. Would replacing the cluster resolve this?

After loading original gauge profile (STX) all appears ok except door ajar, dome light doesn't work, and temp gauge is inop. (Which I know isn't connected. Everything else works great. What can I do to get dome light to work and door to chime?

The problem is you bought a cluster from a vehicle with a floor shifter as far as I have see you need a cluster that has the p r n d 1 2 on the bottom instead of fx4 for example if it has fx4,or lariat, king ranch etc don’t buy it unless you have the floor shifter hope this helps

I just completed this change out in my 06. While I was looking for some information about this I came across this video. Everything works perfectly so far except when I turned the truck back on the mileage was not what was on the cluster but what was on the one that I bought it didn’t change. Is there a way to correct this using FORScan?
@JackofAllMasterofNone
@JackofAllMasterofNone 4 ай бұрын
In this video I stated the mileage cannot be changed in Forscan and stays with the cluster, so its important to get a used cluster with the same mileage, or you can send it off to a shop that can reprogram the EEPROM that stores the mileage.

@@lemuelms What I'm saying is. If you watch the video again. You can't change the mileage. That's why you have to buy one that's close and wait until they match to switch them out. The odometer is on a isolated circuit. To change the mileage you have to write to the eeprom directly with a specialized piece of equipment. Later model F150s you can change the mileage with a separate service function in forscan, but you can only increase the mileage, not decrease it. They do this to prevent mileage fraud.

Thanks for the information. My old odometer has 413,000 and the new cluster has 214,00. Definitely I need to increase the mileage to be legal. For a 2004 F150 do you recommend to send it to repair shop or Forscan upgrade can do it.
