Mustang Cluster Repair Guide Part 2 - Needle Calibration
Вставка

- I got a lot of questions about how to calibrate the needles on the gauges. Here is the video I hope you find this helpful!! Enjoy!!!
My Cluster is from my 2005 Ford Mustang V6 4.0L
Videos 1&2 are perfect. Easy to complete task. Key is removing solder. I found using radio shack 64-2060 iron with sucker worked flawless. Many thanks. Great informative videos.
I didn't think about gps I took my needles off it's all screwed up I'm going too try this thank u for the video
My C H meter is almost all the way upsidown it's Soo annoying and that's like the most important one
my needles are all in the wrong places, if I put the speedo/rpm to 0 and rpm to around .5 to 1 they work 100% correct, is there any way I can just reset the needles, or what should I do? all of my guages are incorrect but I'd like to try and just reset needles to 0 and let them go to proper places as in the video before replacing the whole thing
Wow! Way easier than I thought. I did it in no time! Screw paying $60+ for a "new" cluster. Buy the motors on eBay for under $10 and do it yourself. Thanks guys!
Has it held up I need to do it on my 06 GT
I have a customers car ‘05 mustang fuel gauge is pointing straight to the left at a 90 degree. About a half inch BELOW empty. I replaced sending unit..same problem. Is it the stepper motor? When you start car you can see gas needle pulsing like it’s trying to move but can’t
Mine keeps going below 0
Damn I have this problem on my Stang, see my vid ua-cam.com/video/-mE9T6Mtwz4/v-deo.html
Hopefully I can fix this w/o totally messing it up. Wish me luck folks.
hey bro i just purchased a 2005 gt and I notice that my gauges where off and i called the guy that i got it from and he said that the cluster was new so i thought well it must be cause all of the gauges work but are off a little. so i tried your method to calibrate it but every time i set the needles to 0 when i start the car the needles jump below 0 and it knocks them off . am i doing something wrong ? thanks
I tried this.... they were at 0 after turning the car off and on about 8 times. Left the vehicle and came back and hour later and the rev gauge is throwed back off. Any recommendations?
How do you recalibrate the fuel and temp gauges?
Fill gas and cold engine
2:44 That reminds me of my Nitro that I used to have and now I've got a Mustang. 2 cars in 1 of your videos..
Great video
i accidentally pulled the actually needle off the gauge cluster in my '01 Durango...and now it doest work even when i go through the reset process...is there a way to fix this?
Good video, but if you own a soldering iron you should own a soldapullt as196 ( anti-static) or a standard ds017.
does someone has the pin out from the yellow connector please? The power supply. For on the bench. thank you.
i see some motorn on ebay starts with X27? are those even newer ones? or should i stick with the x25? i have the premium version
Where did you pick the guage clusters up from? I need one for my fuel gauge and volt meter. When fixing those do I need to take the needles off all six gauges?
Does this same process work for a 2013 Mustang Cluster? All gauges read properly except for the Coolant Gauge. It reads below zero with the ignition off. After the car is warmed up, the gauge does rise to about 1/4 of the way, which is accurate from 1/4 below zero to 1/4 above zero when it's warmed up (coolant should sit half-way). The motor is not the issue, the cluster was removed previously from another car, and I am thinking it was knocked when it was shipped to me. Should I use this same method as you? Keeping the cluster plugged in and adjusting the needle as needed?
***** Hi yeah i had the same problem as him its like the gauges would just stick and then read from where they got stuck. like my rpm gauge would read way past the rev range but thats because at idle it was at 5k. So i recalibrated and it seems to be working ok. i will probably go in and try to see what would be making them stick and maybe grease it up this weekend. who knows but if the problem reoccurs then they will be replaced like your other video.
The RPM is past 7K and when running goes to left side aka it’s going right to left upside down.
It is not at shut down setting at zero
Could need a new motor for your RPM Gage. I have a different video even though it's several years old at this point but should still be relevant.

I got a question have a 05 mustang with this same cluster. I have the buttons for the color lights. The 3 buttons info, reset, an I forget the 3rd one. Anyways I only have green lighting no matter what I try. Any suggestions
Get a my color cluster it will have the rgb lights
will this same thing work for my 1992 chevy camaro? thanks for the great video
mustang 2004 v 6 3.9???
Are you asking that this fix would work on a 2004 mustang? Or are you asking what type of vehicle I have?
If it's the first question I would assume yes. If it's the second question I had a 2005 Ford mustang V6.
Hi,how about the temperature gauge.all the instruments are working except that. Should I replace it for a new one?
To my knowledge they all use the same motor. If you think you are experiencing the same issues as I had then replacing the motor might work.
(NOTE) You should make sure it is the motor and not a sensor or fuse that is bad before getting into the cluster.
@@digitalsoulz ok thank you so much!!
I have a problem with the temperature gauge. When I talk everything apart I put everything back and I had a problem with the temperature gauge it's keep going counterclockwise
Did you replaced the motor or just took everything apart and put it back together again?
If you did put a new motor in and the needle is going the opposite way then might be a bad motor, or some how the polarity could be reversed casing the motor to go in the opposite direction, or worse case is that something could be shorting out when it was replaced.
Another thing to think about before replacing any motors is to check fuses and sensors first.
Unfortunately working with electronics anything could and will go wrong.
when I was trying to take it apart and put a bag I was missing behind the temperature sensor and one of the gear little gear fell down and I was trying to put everything together I put everything back together and then the temperature Gage not working good but I'm sure I did put everything right .
Thank you
Great Vid. Very informative. You taught me things. Thanks.
I have a 2005 ,V8. My battery and oil gauage sticks up when I turn the motor on. Do I need to buy the motor for the gauages or can I just reset them the way you did it in this video. Plz let me know. Thanks for the awesome video!!!!!
you can try to reset them and if it continues to stick then replace them. =)
akaSoulz how do you calibrate the fuel and temp gauges?
thanks for the vid. very helpful. after soldering my temp guage in, it seems as though i have over soldered and crossed a track. the guage registers, but when turned off it keeps turning cw rather than falling. any ideas how to narrow this down? can't seem to find a circuit diagram.
Faulty temp sensor?
What would you say the problem is if replacing the motors doesn't work?
+Brenton Adams (akaSoulz) yeah going to try another stepper motor if that doesn't work I'm setting my mustang on fire
what is the names of the motors and where did you buy it ??? please answer back i really need it
+Brenton Adams (akaSoulz) thank you very much man it works 👍👍👍
thank you for the how to video! my question is how to calibrate the fuel and temp gauge? perhaps top off your tank to calibrate the fuel gauge? Your thoughts on the temp?
Years late but yeah you have the idea. Fill gas and do it with cold engine :)
I have same problem
What about a 2013 mustang
I bought a repair kit online for my mustang, hope this works, I have a fuel and temp out
howd it go?
Hi Brenton, is there only one way that each motor will fit in the cluster or can you accidentally put them in up side down?
Thank you very much. Have a great day.
Thier is only one way the motor can go in and it's the same for all 4 or 6 gauges
hello just wondering if same motor works for the temperature gauge ?
Yes
Thanks a lot it was really helpful
Awesome!
Good job man!!!
WOULD THIS WORK FOR 03 GT AND AFTER MARKET ODOMETER?
Maybe? I only have done this on a 2005 mustang.
Did it work? Lol
the best video ever...thanks brother...
