If i install a instrument cluster on my focus zx4 (sedan) with a instrument cluster that came from a focus zx3 (3dr hatchback) will my trip and odometer read the same. Mind you both instrument clusters are complete all I'm doing is unplugging my old one for the one i pulled from the other car and they both have tachometers.

uh no itll have the mileage from the car you took it from. my car is under 100k but my cluster says 138k because it came from a higher mileage car but i wanted a tach.trip will be the same. you reset it at zero and it keeps track of mileage, but being the diffrence in the years of the cars you have to make sure the plug in matches there were 2 or 3 diffrent plug designs they used

iirc the plug is actually the same but their was an additional smaller plug above the other plug on some clusters. not positive but the search function is your friend the info is here ya just gotta go find it. i distincly remember a post from kenzx3 describing the diffrences between the 3 types

So there is 3? When i looked i only seen 2 a white and a gray. The white usually was from the 00-04 and the gray was what my car took 05-07

When i searched i found more 05s had the tach, fewer 06 and the most rare was the 07 with a tach. I guess as the got got older people decided to just strip them to just an economy car.

100k should be easy to find on e-bay.
