03/04 cobra Gauge cluster in a 99?

99mustanggtman · June 23rd, 2008, 02:21 AM

I just bought one and was under the impression that it will fit no problem. Now lately i have been hearing that you have to switch the circuit board on the back to make it work. Then I hear it will fit fine just prob with calibration due to the 160 MPH speedo. Will this swap into my 99GT or what?

you will have to disable your PATS for it to work.

hmm interesting

99mustanggtman · June 23rd, 2008, 05:01 PM

can i get my tuner to turn off pats?

03_StangGuy · June 23rd, 2008, 05:17 PM

what is PATS?

HMUSN · June 23rd, 2008, 05:17 PM

passive anti theft system.

i tried switching circuit boards but then the gauges dont light up properly, you will need to turn off PATS which your tuner can do for it to work using the cobra circuit board

anyone else know anything about switching just the "chip" in the circuit boards?

Everything should just swap right over. You do realize the 03/04 cluster has a integrated boost gauge right? I'm not sure if the main connectors are the same. There may be an extra PIN socket in the cobra board that the GT dash wiring may not have. Just a thought, more than likely it will swap in though and it will be self explanitory once you have everything out. You'll need a special kind of hex bolt to unscrew the cluster out. t7 i think?
