Default 2000 GT Instrument Cluster swap

I have a 2000 GT cluster and want to upgrade my 94 with it. I need the wiring diagrams for the both of them. I figure it should be pretty strait forward from there.

It won't be an easy swap as you will need to upgrade the PCM from EEC-IV to EEC-V to drive the speedometer, tachometer, coolant temp, MIL, and a few other warning lights.

Here is the 1994 cluster wiring diagram:



Note that only the MIL, the auto-tranny O/D lamps and the tach are controlled by the PCM--and all directly controlled at that.


Here is the 2000 cluster wiring diagram.



On the 2000 the speedometer, tach, ECT, MIL, O/D indicator and other function are provided as digital data over the Multiplex Communication Network. In later models this became called thethe SCP (Standard Corporate Protocol) bus--and is in fact the OBD2 data bus.

A microprocessor in the cluster reads the digital data and then drives the gauges, all of which are just identical servo motors; not "real" gauges at all. Here's a shot of the backside of an '01 cluster with the electronics removed.

Not a bad thing at all just something else to make me find a 1995 Bronco or F-150 with a 302 to grab its wiring harnesses and PCM. They are EEC-V and OBD-II and that should do the trick.

Default shorting out

WHAT can cause a cluster to stop working after 10 or 15 miles ?? Loss of ground ? How do you track that down ?


Seems to just be the fuel, tack and speed guages shorting out.

Maybe, hopefully.... I suggest though that you re-post over in the "other" 4.6 section (relevant to 2005-10 model years). Highly unlikely anybody in this section will have much knowledge on this.

if you are swapping clusters, whether new or used, it will need to be programmed. Using a ford IDS or similar you will have to suck out info from old one, install new one and download info on to it. Its not plug and play
