[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1555452, member: 30520"] Edit: Just saw the OP has a '98. The below applies to 99-04 cars. 1998's use a different process for programming and not sure the below will work. ------------------ It can be done using ForScan. (for 99-04 cars) In fact, you can do cluster swaps using ForScan. Unfortunately you can't correct the mileage with a cluster swap. But you would open up "PATS key program" and first initialize the IC (instrument cluster) to the ECM. After that, you can program two or more (up to 8) cut keys to the cluster pretty easily. I did a YouTube vid on programming the keys. I don't have the module initialization process part of this but you would just select module initialization prior to the key programming. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1732589548937.png"]39228[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]IExCLyy80FE[/MEDIA] Some better bidirectional scan tools can do this too. I have an Xtools D7 which lists PATS programming as a feature but i've never tried it since I prefer ForScan instead. [/QUOTE]
