I'll bet its from a 06 or later model. I know that a 07 wouldn't run the air in a friends 05 larait. They must have changed the air wiring on them. Do you have the tmps light?

I don't know about the warning light, but I do know you will have to go to a dealer and have them flash it for what is called the "as built" programming for your truck. I did a lariat cluster swap to my truck when I first got it (hated the boring cluster mine came with) and I that's what I had to do to get my A/C and some other functions working. Can't tell you what it would normally cost as I bought the mechanic that did mine a pizza for lunch to get it done

The part number should be printed on the cluster and will tell what year and model it is.

Called my local ford dealer and they said they will not touch it since they can not verify how many miles are on the old cluster.
My other cluster just doesnt work. cant see the millage and nothing works on the cluster, if i plug the old one back in, the lights, radio windows wont work but my A/C works perfect. Now i plug the new Cluster in and everything works perfectly except the A/C. I find that to be VERY odd?

Anyone have any ideas?

Not what you want to hear, but put the old cluster back in and take it to the dealer and have them fix it.

Ahh this makes sense, its from an 07 King Ranch, When i have the original gauge face in (km on the outside) the TPMS light comes where the glow plug light is from my original cluster.

To bad its so hot out!!! ha-ha

Well, i guess off to the ford dealership it goes with the old cluster! I guess i better get ready to bust out my checkbook!!

Ill try and let everyone know the outcome in case this happens to anyone else.

Thanks again for the help!!

I'd take the old cluster apart and check for cold solder joints that would cause the display to quit working

Just curious about it coming out of a KR, it says Lariat on the cluster, KRs say King Ranch. Not sure if this makes any difference at all, see......

OR is the label part of the dash and just appears there regardless of what cluster you put in?

The king ranch/ lariat Display on the cluster comes out real easy, just slides in and out, i have the King ranch plastic piece i just switched them out to make it look factory for my piece of mind. (I want a king ranch and didn't want to keep myself sad that i have the lariat instead, ha-ha) P.S. looks like you a little low on gas. ha

LOL, not my truck I just grabbed that pic for display purposes only. After I posted the link is when it dawned on me that they were probably interchangeable labels or left behind which is why i edited it.
