The electronics within the instrument cluster are NOT serviceable. For a confirmed electronic failure, return the entire assembly to the manufacturer (packaged carefully to avoid damage to the VF displays and other electronic components). Instrument cluster should be disassembled only to service plastic defects (refer to service part diagram).

Federal law requires that the odometer in any replacement speedometer/odometer must register the same mileage as that registered on the removed speedometer/odometer. Service replacement speedometer/odometers and odometer modules with the mileage preset to actual vehicle mileage are available through Ford Electronic Service Centers. in nearly all instances, the mileage continues to accumulate in the odometer memory even if the odometer does not display mileage. This mileage can usually be verified by the electronic service centers. Contact the service center for Instructions to receive a replacement speedometer/odometer or odometer module with the mileage preset to actual mileage.

If the actual vehicle mileage cannot be verified, the service center will supply a speedometer/odometer or odometer module with the odometer display preset to zero ("0") miles and the service odometer segment ("s") illuminated in the vicinity of the odometer display. In addition, an odometer mileage sticker is supplied with the replacement odometer. This sticker must display the estimated vehicle mileage and is to be affixed to the driver's door.
