Bronco Sport Gauge Cluster Install

[COSMav]

Couldn't find much info on the Bronco Sport gauge cluster installation so I'm making a thread to help anyone else!

Picked up a cluster from a Bronco Sport with 1500 miles for $85. Had been searching as my Maverick only has 3300 miles and as we all know, Forscan can only add miles, not subract.

I had some issues with the drive modes after install. The cluster would not allow drive modes to be changed while driving or the engine running. That's an issue that has plagued some of the folks installing the Escape Titanium clusters. However, the drive mode numbers are different on the Bronco Sport.

SDM Modes 1, 2, 4 and 6 will give you Normal, Slippery, Eco and Sport mode as you had on your Maverick. That will also allow you to change drive modes while the truck is running and driving.

Everything works as it should now! The startup page for the Bronco Sport is unique as it shows the mountains and a lake. No Bronco symbols appear on the cluster though.

Kudos on your skills. I would worry that if your almost new Mav experiences issues that should be covered under warranty, FoMoCo will deny a claim for other than mechanical [axle, internal engine etc.] issues.

Also, can the dealer apply updates and recalls should there be any? I am the cautious type so I come from that mindset.

Not a worry on my end. Dealership needs to prove that modification caused the issue. And I highly doubt an instrument cluster would be linked to an axle or internal engine issue.

I don't think you grasp how it actually works in practice.

Don't bother quoting the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act, it's just some text.

What was the reason for the change? To get a larger info screen?

I had the small basic cluster before this. Definitely an upgrade with the larger display. Plus the bronco sport cluster is different than the Maverick that other folks have.

I have an incredibly tight relationship with my dealer so again, not worried. After heavily modifying a Gen 2 Raptor and a Mustang GT for drag racing, they’ve never complained about modifications.

I cut the frame on the Raptor and just about everything you could touch, was modified. Dealer still replaced components under warranty for me.

Looks good. I've always liked my wife's Bronco Sport cluster better than mine. Well done.

Sure is easier to read!

I found it easier to locate a Bronco Sport cluster at a decent price verse the Maverick cluster. Think there are just more Bronco Sport out there in the junkyards right now.

Ya, that would be my question. Seems like a lot of trouble to an end that isn't obvious. Maybe the OP can enlighten us.

Looks great...

Why modify anything really?

It looks different and good, that's enough reason but the OP also gained the larger 6.5" productivity screen.

Search around on car-part.com

There’s a ton of them on there just needed to find a super low mileage and got lucky with this one. Most are 20,000 miles +
