Nowadays, the instrument cluster is a fully-fledged control module of its own, capable of displaying an array of vehicle performance data to the driver in real time. The dashboards fitted to the majority of Ford vehicles are no different, and despite their technological development over recent decades, a huge amount of them are susceptible to internal malfunctions.
Of course, many variations of Ford instrument cluster exist, so determining when each is in need of repair isn’t always straightforward. However, there are some symptoms of Ford dashboard failure that occur time and time again.
Common ford instrument cluster faults
One of the most common symptoms of a Ford dashboard fault is a loss of gauge functionality. When the instrument cluster is in need of repair, it’s common for your Ford’s speedometer, fuel gauge, or tachometer to display an obviously incorrect reading. This is common in the C-Max, Focus and Kuga.
Likewise, when this kind of information is displayed digitally, it’ll typically be obscured when the cluster is defective. For example, the instrument clusters fitted to the first-generation and second-generation Ford Focus display the vehicle’s mileage as dashes (---) when in need of repair.
Crucial elements of the dashboard’s display are frequently compromised when the instrument cluster is defective. This can also involve a loss of backlighting, dimly lit warning lights or LCD corruption.
While an erratically behaving dashboard display might be difficult to miss, some symptoms are slightly less obvious and can lead to misdiagnosis. For example, the presence of CAN-related DTCs is a very common sign that your Ford’s instrument cluster is in need of repair – U1900, U0001 and U0155 are just a few of many examples. Likewise, defective Ford clusters often disrupt the immobiliser system, causing codes like P1260 to store and leave you searching for a cause of your vehicle not starting.
If you aren’t experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, but you believe your Ford’s instrument cluster is defective, you should make use of our specialist testing service. We’ve developed bespoke testing rigs capable of analysing most types of Ford instrument cluster, so send it to us and we’ll let you know if it can be repaired.
Ford instrument cluster repair cost
Once owners have concluded that their Ford’s instrument cluster needs to be repaired, their next concern is how much it will cost. The short answer is that it depends on the chosen method to resolve unit failure.
Many choose to replace the defective dashboard with a brand-new one from the dealer. However, many don’t consider that failure only occurred due to the inclusion of poor quality components or inherent design flaws. This can lead to the very same fault resurfacing after forking out hundreds of pounds on a new unit.
Instead, it’s much more cost-effective to have your cluster remanufactured. In fact, our remanufacturing service costs 75% less on average than purchasing a brand-new replacement unit. That’s before you consider that we’ll actually restore long-lasting functionality and evade the need to have the cluster recoded to the vehicle.
