None
None everything was done safely and thinking about the cluster. The cluster's wiring basically stays the same.

Can you ask your buddy if he knows anything about the pats system? I'm wanting to put an 03/04 cluster in my 01 cobra without loosing my pats system...
Yeah I asked he said that actually he does not know the wiring of the mustang. He's just working on the cluster's illuminecence right now.
Guys, this is no bs. I sent my cluster to CobradaCableGuy and rec'd it back in a week with this modification done to it. The illumination works like new, was simple to complete and saved me hundreds of dollars. I also did not have to bring my car into Ford and leave it with them for a few days, which was something I was dreading. The option of buying a used dash (which can go out at any time) or a new dash (which can also go out) versus fixing it once a for all made this an easy decision for me. Thanks for all of the help Edward, it was great dealing with you. Well worth the $95:beer:
Still fixing them guys !!!
My cluster lighting just went out on my 03 tonight. Where in Texas are you located? My car is my daily driver so I need down time to a minimum. I am also in Texas.
Thanks
I figured out that the foglight switch is what is causing the instrument cluster lights to go out. As long as the foglights are not on the gauge lights work fine. If you put the fog lights on, the gauges lights will "trip" off it seems. So it seems the foglight circuit is "tripping" a relay that powers the gauge luminescents.

VISTEON Sucks unless you are a manufacturer purchasing 100,000 units of their product. Its not all that great of a design in many American car applications. Therefore the crappy BS should work and really should outlast the car.
Slightly off topic but I pulled my cluster the other day to knock some fine dust that had gotten through the little button hole and settled on the bottom of the gauges. I ended up just leaving the cluster in and pulling the lens off the half pulled cluster, since I couldn't see how the boost gauge was hooked up and didn't have a manual and didn't want to break anything (or pull it out but then not be able to reach my hand in their to reconnect it). It was on there damn tight.
It's a hard plastic line coupled into some rubber, and the line doesn't seem that long. Is that rubber just a coupler into a barb on the gauge and is that barb metal, is the coupler fused to the plastic line in any way, etc? Want to know so next time I can just rip that biatch out, maybe replace that rubber bit with a longer length of hose so there is more room to pull it out in the future without tugging hard at the hard line.
