I’ve seen some info on here about the cluster but I’m not sure how to deal with the issue I’m having.
It starts and runs fine, the turn signals and other lamps work, when I turn the headlights on, it illuminates the cluster but the gauges all sit there un moving.
I have no idea where to start on this other than just replacing the cluster.

Also the two oil pressure and temp gauges work fine.

So, no matter what, the main cluster doesn't work except for illumination? I would pull the cluster and check the plug and solder joints.

I have pulled it and I did happen to notice the lever on the connector broke on one side, making it really hard to disconnect it. I ordered a new pigtail to re-pin a new connector. Maybe that will work?

It definitely sounds like a dead cluster to me. It's possible that the issue is in the wiring on the way in, but it's illuminating, so its getting power. My bet is you'll need a replacement. I got mine cloned for the replacement so I'm still legit for resale and insurance. These guys were great to deal with and I would recommend them: Ford Instrument Clusters - Replacement Cluster Panels, Dash Panels, Gauge Clusters, Speedometers for Ford

They can reproduce an SVT El-glow cluster?

So I had to go with a used one with more miles. I really wish I could find an electronics expert that could go through it and replace the burnt-out capacitors or relays.

Hi I had the same problem, drove me nuts.The lights would go on and off. First thing is I disconnected the main connector and took it out , cleaned the connector and the cluster. Did not help. I went on Ebay and found Speedway Recyclers. You send in your broken cluster. He sends a rebuilt one. I my case my Svt only has 52,000 on it. He reset the the rebuilt on to the same mileage. I had to fill out some papers to make it legal. .....might help your problem
