Instrument Cluster: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup, 2001 Ford Pickup, and 2000 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Instrument cluster is Hybrid Electronic Cluster (HEC). Passive anti-theft ignition key code is programmed into HEC. Vehicle will not start without proper code. Before replacing instrument cluster, it is necessary to upload HEC module configuration to New Generation Star (NGS) tester, or equivalent scan tool. Download configuration once new instrument cluster is installed. NGS tester will only retain information for 24 hours.
