lee42lee Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have a 2008 Ford Edge and the speedometer cluster is bad. Years ago I had the same thing happen on a Taurus. After we replaced it the car would not start and we had to have the car reprogrammed. Will this car be the same way? I know we have to put the sticker in the door about the miles I just need to know if it will have to be reprogrammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Looks like you have to have the dealer do this with their IDS system. From the 2007 Service Manual: When installing a new instrument cluster, it is necessary to upload the module configuration to the scan tool. NOTE: If a new instrument cluster is installed, download the configuration from the scan tool into the new instrument cluster. For additional information, refer to the programmable module installation in Section 418-01 . NOTE: If a new instrument cluster is installed, the instrument cluster and the PCM require a parameter reset to allow the instrument cluster and the PCM to recognize each other. Failure to carry out the parameter reset to the instrument cluster and the PCM may result in a no start condition. NOTE: The vehicles integrated keys (or standard passive anti-theft system [PATS] keys) must be programmed to the new instrument cluster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djoaquin Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Is this configuration something that can also be done by a mobile locksmith,? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Is this configuration something that can also be done by a mobile locksmith,? Most likely beyond the locksmith scope. You are re-programing the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
