2005 ST Instrument Cluster Bulbs

[Bill Miller]

The #194 Bulbs that a lot of folks are mentioning as a replacement DO NOT fit my 2005 ST.

Does anyone have the Bulb # for the tiny bulbs ?



I had Carquest tell me that I needed a T-3 or maybe a 24.....



FORD tells me that a replacement is a special order item at $7 a bulb. 😳😳😖



Does anyone got a clue ?

All the bulbs in my 2001 with 140K have never failed. One in my 2009 with 80K has failed... Just thought I'd share that.

UPDATE.....



I searched high and low for a company to fix my Instrument Cluster.



After reading countless threads regarding the topic, I was about ready to give it up and pay the $800 for one from FORD. &#128534;&#128534;&#128534;

I searched one last time.....found D & D Instruments 612-378-1224.

Here's the drill:

1) Remove your instrument cluster

2) Call them or do it on-line and obtain a UPS label for shipping.

3) UPS Ground gets it there in 3 days.

4) Make sure you include your problems that yours is exhibiting.

5) Wait 3 days...They will call you and tell you it's ready...give credit card info and in 3 days your cluster is back and repaired !

6) Install and drive-on !&#128076;&#128076;&#128076;&#128076;&#128076;&#128515;

7) they said they re-soldered all the terminals on my circuit board. Total $250. :driving::banana:

No problems ! Very happy !

A word of CAUTION....Do Not Drive you ST without a Cluster. PCM will kill the battery after a short drive.

Causing you a headache....and frustration...and inconvenience! &#128534;
