Full digital gauge cluster from Ford Escape swap into Maverick

[Nexoidian]

Does the Explorer cluster allow traction control to still be turned on and off with the console mounted button?

The escape cluster doesn’t allow for it

Yes, the traction control button functions as normal with the explorer cluster. I forgot to mention that in my original post.

Nope, I gave up. Since that button configuration does not exist on the escape there is not way to program it.

I honestly don’t intend on using it (I’ve only ever used it to do snow donuts). If I need traction disabled I just switch it to Sand/Snow mode and it does what it needs to do.

I did disable this through the ABS module so the DTC doesn’t pop up. It is not required, but I didn’t want any questions about the DTC from the dealer.

Hi,

Just curious. What DTc were you getting for traction control and what did you do to disable it.

Of note, that one is specifically from an Escape plug-in hybrid. Note the empty battery symbol and the "-- mi" next to it (that's where it would show the battery state of charge and the estimated electric only range). Might have something to do with your codes.

Thanks I wondered what the empty battery symbol was. I know my hybrid don’t have that

Hi all, long time no talk. I finally finished my dash. it works great! thanks for everyone laying the groundwork to solve all the issues I came across.

One thing I unfortunately found out is the clear lens cover for the dash is virtually impossible to find by itself! I had my unit ready to install but didn't feel comfortable without the clear lens. I ended up ordering a second unit and swapped my lens for the complete one.

That being said I have a second unit with the black housing ready and sitting in my room. If anyone wants it I'm willing to part ways with it for $100+shipping. Its 35,566.5mi ecoboost unit LJ6T-10849-DEK (might want to reach out to Dave from Clusters by livinitup to correct the milage). Just to be abundantly clear, the lens is basically impossible to find and this unit doesn't have it. Its still fully functional, just missing the clear protective plastic in front of the screen.

Ill include a picture for anyone interested. feel free to DM me if you're interested or have any questions.

Sent it to Dave and he did “as built” and all good on screen. Still got the 110/111 codes but don’t seem to have any effect

EXPLORER ST
DIGITAL CLUSTER​

Fits Maverick
with minor trimming
BIGGGGG improvement over stock unit also over the Escape cluster

NO WIRING needed
Use existing plug. Pops right it.

My friend has installed the same model cluster in his Maverick and raves about it.

The odometer shows approximately 20,000 miles

Mileage can be raised using Forscan. As I understand, many speedometer shops can lower mileage for about $100 +/-

Some ask you to sign a form saying the mileage change is because you’re replacing your existing cluster. Some ask for proof they are matching your current mileage. One asks you to include: A picture of your current odometer, a written date, your VIN and name in the picture. I don’t know if the requirements are the same with all shops. The objective is; No “funny” business/cheating

Small hairline crack on the bezel at the extreme left, towards the top.
Hardly (IF AT ALL) visible when installed

If you choose, you can buy a new bezel from Ford for about 20-30 dollars and replace it

Iffffffff you can find one of these clusters, which isn’t likely, they’re usually $1,200-$1,400.

$598 shipped to lower 48 states. Pay via PayPal- That way we’re BOTH protected

I will ship the same, or next, business day. Promise!

Thank you

I've added the Escape digital cluster for the Maverick to my website for anyone interested. Currently any Hybrid clusters on the website started out as a gas cluster but I changed firmware, etc. on them to convert to Hybrid.

Does it just need to be programmed with forscan or does the EEPROM need to be reflashed? Also, much to get a gas cluster converted to a Hybrid? no mile update needed.

Converting a cluster from gas to hybrid cannot be done by firmware alone in FORScan; there's an additional step that must be done. The flashing process takes about 5 hours and if anything goes wrong, the cluster can be bricked so I don't want to offer this service as an option on clusters sent to me at this time because I don't want to be liable for a customer-owned cluster getting bricked.

Where can you find these new bezels? The post a few posts above you says they are impossible to find.

My post referred to the entire Explorer ST cluster being almost impossible to find

Not the lens itself.

Here’s one example
It may/may not be the exact one. I just Googled something like: Ford Digital cluster lens

But they’re all fairly similar.

There appears to be two screws to remove then the rest is held on by clips. Take off the screws and pop it off
Top:

Bottom:

Here’s the small crack. I doubt that it’s visible when installed.
(Unless you bend down low then look up)

This would work for me. I got everything working except the traction control which I don’t use either. How did you disable it?

Any chance you can share the configuration. I can't switch my drive modes while driving.

Sorry. I don’t understand your question. You can program available drive modes with Forscan

Take a look at disabling one of the drive modes. Earlier in the form (page 10-15ish) they solved this issue. you had to disable one of the modes since the escape cluster stores it differently. I turned it off and things got MUCH faster, dont remember which one it was exactly though
