Just left a rant on the Quality Is Job 1 thread on this subject. I want to buy a lariat cluster for my '05 xl 150 but can't find a dealer to program it for me. I'm trying to find a dealer before I buy one so I don't waste any money on a cluster that sits on the shelf collecting dust. Anyone have any suggestions. I feel like I'm SCREWED! Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Hey mitch150.... I may be of some help. I will leave you an email or private message.

 

Thanks tmd.I want that cluster.

 

Hey I got a ROUSH cluster for my 04. I need it programmed too. It's still sitting in my closet in its ROUSH PERFORMANCE box. How about sending some help my way too? Hehe, if I can't get the mileage programed on that cluster I will probably have to sell it.

 

What color bezel is that ? Gray ? PM me if its gray please

 

I will send you a pm or email...

 

If you are tossing around helpful information about programming please throw some info my way as well.

Have a lariat cluster sitting on my shelf collecting dust as well as the message center switch, but I do need to find the part number for the wire harness to hook it up.

 

I will send you the guys info in your email....also the wiring pigtail for the message center switch is WPT586. I get all my stuff from www.getfordparts.com If you put in that WPT586 in the part# search it will come up with the price etc..

 

Ok, I have the cluster, the message center switch and the plug w/ pig tails. Anyone have the wiring diagram to where the pigtails are connected to my wire harness? There's 6 wires altogether but I thought there was only 2. Can anyone help. Thanks! Oh yeah, do I have to order a new bezel? Or can I just cut the new switch into my bezel?

 

No one out there has any answers? Which forum should I search?

 

Hey tmd, and anyone else out there. Thought I'd post an update.Got the cluster in and works good (after having it programmed). Haven't done the message center switch yet as I'm waiting on a little info abuot the bezel and wiring.

 

why cant you post the info here instead of email so we all can see it

 

Hey there. Glad it all worked out for you. As far as the switch goes, The one I showed in the previous posts, I cut that in myself. I used a hole-saw to drill out the ends round and then cut out the middle with a hack saw blade. Just be careful because there isn't much room for error or it will show. I will post a pic of the hole I cut and a wiring diagram shortly.

 

Here is a picture of the hole that I cut out. Just measure the switch CAREFULLY. I actually cut it out a little small at first on purpose and used a file to finish it up so it wouldn't be too big. I believe the hole-saw was a 7/8" but don't quote me on that. Also when I first installed the switch, it was tight and the buttons actually got stuck in when I pushed them so I had to file it some more. Also you can see I had to file notches to accept the switch tabs. Good luck! Will post a wiring diagram next.

 

Hey tmd, thanks for the cluster and info. Also just to let you, I did not use your guy to have the cluster reprogrammed. Had it done locally.Going to do the switches later this week.
