No you must have the keys paired with the new cluster at the dealer. Don't ask how I know
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.
Yes you can

The mileage is stored in the BCM not the cluster, so you can replace the cluster without changing the odometer reading.
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.
To remove the plugs from the instrument cluster of a 2003 Nissan Navara, you'll first need to carefully detach the cluster from the dashboard. This typically involves removing screws or clips securing it in place. Once the cluster is loose, gently pull it forward to access the back where the plugs are located. Press the release tabs on the connectors to disconnect them without damaging the wiring.
A digital cluster may not directly fit a 1991 Chrysler LeBaron without modifications, as the original instrument panel design and wiring are tailored for analog gauges. The compatibility would depend on the specific digital cluster's dimensions, electrical connections, and the vehicle's existing wiring harness. Custom adapters or wiring may be necessary to install a digital cluster successfully. It's advisable to consult with a specialist or reference vehicle modification forums for specific guidance.
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".
The instrument cluster will give you a warning, that the vehicle will not start in X amount of miles.
It should work ok if the wire for the tach under the hood is connected and I don't remember which one it is.
It should work. I have a 94 w/o a tach and put a LE version cluster with tach in. Works fine. There should still be a tach wire grouped into the harness plugs. Just unplug your old one and plug in the new one that's it.
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.
