Ford GT Dash instructions
by
As we begin, it is important to note that these instructions are basic and
generalized for the Ford GT. Each GT is slightly different and may require
additional steps or actions. Please make sure you are comfortable and capable
with the removal/replacement steps as listed below. Note that a couple of the
harder steps are right up front (disconnecting the harnesses), so if you can get
past these, you are on your way!
1. Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery.
2. Disconnect the instrument cluster harness connectors. Working in
the drivers side foot well, look at the highest connectors above the
driver’s side kick panel. You will see a larger harness that splits into two
connectors. Disconnect both connectors. See picture.
3. Also securing the harness in place is a nylon press-in fastener. Unfas-
ten this tie down point to allow the harness to move more freely. Push
up on the harness to make sure that it is not caught on anything.
4. In preparation for the gauge panel removal, use plenty of blue
protective tape to prevent scratches on steering wheel and gauge
binnacle. Lower the steering wheel to lowest setting.
5. With everything taped and a cloth on the steering column to protect, you are ready to remove the
instrument panel. Use a small torx screwdriver to carefully remove all of the screws in the face of the
panel. With the screws removed, grasp the perimeter of the water temp gauge and try to pull it forward.
The left side of the cluster needs to come out first. The speedometer will come out last. Be patient and
take your time. It helps to slightly press up on the roof of the binnacle with your knuckles as you pull the
panel forward. Eventually you will be able to work the cluster out of the binnacle.
6. Lay cluster face down on the towel. Note in
almost all cases you will not be able to completely
remove the cluster from the car, as you will not be
able to clear the gauge connectors.
