07 Instrument cluster bad. Will I have to have it programmed???
My instrument cluster is going in and out on me. It was just the display for the mileage but now when it acts up all my gauges go hey wire.
I have checked and cleaned the the 2 main connections and they both are firmly in place.
I noticed when my cluster messes up the A/C will quit blowing cold, it still blows just not cold and if I completely disconnect the cluster the A/C will do the same thing. And after some research that is common when the clusters go bad.
My question is if I get one from a salvage yard will it have to be programmed to my truck to work and display the actual miles I have on it? Or is it just plug and play if the part numbers match up?
Thanks!!!

Get one on ebay from that seller that does clusters. You note your mileage and he will flash it before shipping. If miles differ, the vehicle can fail your state inspection if you have one. When you sell your vehicle or trade it in, it is best to have this matched. The PCM records miles, and so does the cluster.
