The instrument cluster can be replaced. The connectors on the back of the instrument clusters are the same for all versions of that generation of the Ford Focus.
There are however problems when doing this:
-The odometer will show the miles from the old cluster. The milage is built in to the cluster, not the car.
-Some panel lights (like the ABS light) may light up depending on your vehicle's options.
It is sometimes possible (although usually relatively expensive) to have the cluster reprogrammed at a Ford dealership to correct these problems.

Does the mileage stay the same if you change an instrument cluster on 1999 town and country or will it need to be reset by a dealer?
The mileage is stored in the BCM not the cluster, so you can replace the cluster without changing the odometer reading.

How do you replace the odometer bulb on a Pontiac Sunfire No fuses are fried so you assume that that is it?
Have fun with this oneMost of the sunfire clusters (odometer, RPM, Speed) are sealed and the odometer is digital like an alarm clock and can not be changed without replacement of the entire cluster (odometer, RPM, Speed) good luck... this will require the removal of the dashboard in most cases. Andrew, a CANADIAN apprenticeI'm not sure about newer Sunfires - but the information above is incorrect regarding older models. I replaced the bulbs on my instrument cluster without opening or compromising it on my 99 Sunfire.You have to remove the dashboard, then remove the instrument cluster. On the back of the cluster, you'll find that you can unscrew the bulbs from the back and replace them.--- CanadianCynosure

How do you change the instrument panel lamps on a 2002 Chevy Prizm?
Instrument Panel Lamp Procedure per Prizm Shop Manual This procedure only applies to cars with tilt steering wheels. Prizms without tilt wheels are infinitely more difficult because you have to disable the airbag system and remove the trim covers from the steering wheel. Important: The ignition switch must be in the OFF position when removing the instrument cluster assembly. 1. Tilt the steering column down in order to gain the necessary clearance to remove the instrument panel cluster trim plate. 2. Remove the two screws that secure the instrument panel cluster trim plate. 3. Disengage the two lower clips (hidden) 4. Gently remove the instrument panel cluster trim plate from the instrument panel assembly. 5. Remove the three screws which secure the instrument panel assembly, pull out the assembly carefully. 6. Mark the the 4 electrical connectors where they connect to the cluster assembly so that you remember which connector went to which socket 7. Disconnect the 4 electrical connectors from the cluster assembly 8. Remove the instrument cluster assembly 9. Remove the instrument cluster retainer with the instrument cluster lens attached from the instrument cluster case by releasing the 8 locking tabs. 10. Remove the cluster bulb socket from the instrument cluster case by turning in a counterclockwise direction. Remove the old bulb from the socket and replace the bulb. 11. Reverse the procedure to reassemble NOTE: This is such a convoluted procedure you should replace all bulbs while you are this deep into it. Trust me, the other bulbs will soon go bad. Incredibly, the shop manual does not list the part number of the bulb. Note 2: It is easier, and you are less likely to break the trim plate, if this is done while the dash is warm and therfore more flexible. Like parked in the sun for a while before starting. Also, the bulb is a #194, and you will want to get green colored "instrument bulb boots".
Will a 1600 toyata tazz corolla instrument cluster work on a 1300 tazz sport?
Open the dashboard underneath the steering column. If you you see a yellow plug that's not connected to anything you should be able to fit the 1600 instrument cluster without modification and it will work.

What happens if you drive an x5 BMW which runs on diesel fuel without exhaust fuel?

What should i do i have a Chevy Express 3500 van 2007 and the temperature gauge is not working what should you do?
Chevy had a lawsuit regarding this. Instrument cluster gauge failure is common. The motors fail. Warranty has been extended to 7 years or 70000 miles. If you by chance have 70000 to 80000 miles, then Chevy will give you the instrument cluster, but you have to pay for instalation. If you have exceeded 80000 miles then I would send the cluster in to a cluster repair facility, they are all over the internet. You can drive without your cluster in it. My shop actually replaces these gauge motors with the updated motors so this problem won't persist. There is a chance you might have another issue, ie possibly a bad temp sensor or wirin, but guae failure is most commin.
If you have a 2004 LeSabre without a tach can you swap this instrument cluster out with one with a tach?

Where can you send a 2000 Chevy Z71 instrument panel for replacement of the mileage and LED shift indicator lights?
You will need to take the old instrument panel cluster assembly to a GM dealership so they can order the proper replacement cluster and it must have the mileage programmed at the dealer when installed in the vehicle as well as programmed. Without programming the IPC will not function properly. Clusters are sent in for exchange only.
