How to remove and fix F150 gauge cluster needle

In this video, I removed the gauge cluster on my 2012 Ford F150 Lariat in order to fix the broken tachometer needle. The removal of the cluster is pretty easy, but separating the clear front plastic from the rest of the cluster was the tedious part. There job overall was not very difficult and can be done with just a couple simple tools.
Extra bit not included/mentioned in the video... there is a small star bit that is needed for two screws on the back of the cluster. These need to be removed in addition to the multiple plastic tabs around the edges of the cluster.

Thanks for the video! It's so much easier when someone takes the time to show us how. May God bless you abundantly!

Fricken God tier video my man !!! I just fixed my own. The longest part was waiting for the glue to dry

I ended up using heat shrink tube around the clip because the plastic is so delicate.

Mine just plopped off the other day, thanks for the video,I will attempt to fix it.

Of course! It wasn’t too bad of a fix so you’ll be fine. Let me know if you have any questions.

The squeakers from the dogs in the background piqued my dogs interest 😂 5:56

Another trick for the clips at 5:28…. Slide a toothpick behind the black tabs… slide the unit right off

This happened to me when my car parked at the river in Lake Havasu AZ, since then I keep my windows cracked, that AZ heat is Brutal on cars

[@Camsh0ts]

I can only imagine! Not AS brutal, but Texas summers can get pretty bad too

I just did this to my speedo, but I had to counter clockwise click until I was dialed mine was off by 11 mph

[@dougmyers8767]

After my engine wouldn't start due to a very weak battery my speedometer needle is 15 mph off.

Where do you find the replacement

[@Camsh0ts]

Sorry, replacement what? Needle? I glued the original back together to reuse it if that’s what you are talking about.

1000RPM is your Idle? lol. No wonder the stick fell off. You probably continuously Rev above 4-5K RPMs.
