Excellent detail in this video as usual. Worked great. I did find some trouble removing that white electrical connection in the beginning. I also found it was easier to get the worm gear motor started on one side slightly then do the other side. I can see that little plastic lip breaking off. Great video!!! Keep it up. The thing that I like best in your videos is there is no shakiness in the camera. Thank you!!

Best video I have seen for this fix. Got the parts, ready to go. On the '94 just a tip on getting the headlight switch off. You do have to put a flat blade behind the metal tab and then push the tab forward and while doing that pull the switch outward. Make sure you have enough leverage while pushing on the tab otherwise it will just detach a little and not all the way. Just thinking...how do you know whether the little motor is not the problem? (My speedo and tach work fine).

@TheRykerDane 8 жыл бұрын

+larry gk if your gears are fine and not broken then it could be the motor. But possibly the harness connection. But most of the time it is the gears and they break down

Thank you sir. Yes it was the gear set and it works great now.

thanks for the vid rykerdan, I subbed, I wasnt exactly sure what I need for my '95s odo and trip. but luckily I have a spare instrument pod so I can just grab the gears out of it.

Alexander Rahl awesome, always good to have extra parts

@alexanderrahl482 9 жыл бұрын

TheRykerDane Hey RykerDane, I had to order some new gears because the ones in my extra pod were rotted out to. I put them in exactly like you did, but its still not working, ive changed the motor out back and forth and still nothing. Ive taken this thing apart and put it back together damn near 8-9 times. You got any ideas as to what else could be the problem?

@TheRykerDane 9 жыл бұрын

Alexander Rahl If your motors are working then there has to be a short somewhere in one of your cables. Does you speedometer work too? backlight? Maybe check your fuse box too.

@alexanderrahl482 9 жыл бұрын

yea, my speedo works, backlight works, havent checked the fuse box yet though. will report back when the car returns from shop.

@QZPZ 9 жыл бұрын

5:31. You just broke your zero tabs for the speedo and tach. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CLUSTER FLIPPED OVER TO NOT BREAK THESE. But a tiny bit if super glue can do you good if you accidentally break them.

Hi Mr. Dane , could you please find the time to make a how to video on installing "reverse glow gauges" from AmericanMuscle.com on your mustang? I've had mine sitting around because I'm not to good with electronics. I'm sure you would love the addition to your car and have a whole lot of viewers from it.

Trying to fix this cluster here. someone has soldered in two of the pins on the center piece. Any ideas on how to get this middle piece removed or do I have to melt the solder?

@TheRykerDane 9 жыл бұрын

shelbo Carr If it is not attached to other important things, you should be able to use a needle nose pliers and just pull it off. but you will need to solder again so make sure you have a solder gun.

I wonder how many fox,sn95’s this has happened to and owners have ignored it to keep mileage down for when they sell it. Mine happened the other day. I only put 40 miles on it when it stopped working. Going to fix it today but now wondering how many stangs out there have true mileage unknown. Obviously carfax won’t know or the dmv. Scary thought right there.

@brystonvanwey2928 8 жыл бұрын

So I have gotten the new parts. I took the old stuff out and swapped it in with the new stuff. When the thing is out of the car, with the new parts in, the gears rotate and the odometer goes up like it should. But when I put it back in the car it doesn't go up at all. Any idea how to fix that? Thank you!

@sldpf2113 6 жыл бұрын

adam thiry that's not your gears then that has to do with the sending unit on the transmision that sends signal/power to the gauge cluster telling it the car is moving if that goes out or has a short it won't send that signal anymore . I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what I think the name for it was but I'm pretty sure it's your vvi. There are forums all over the internet for that.

You are correct and I noticed the same and wanted to comment so others attempting this don't have the same problem. I am about ready to do this repair and the needle stop breakage is something that is very worthy of calling out as I am seeing this referred to from those that have attempted this repair when I've been researching how-tos on this subject.
