96 Mustang GT Gauge Cluster Replacement with Unknown Aftermarket Speedhut Cluster (Information Needed)

Pobilla · Sep 20, 2022

Hello
I have a 96 GT Vert and the stock cluster works perfectly fine. However, the car came with this aftermarket cluster, and I know basically nothing about it. The previous owner said it was a cobra cluster but I can tell it isn't. I have no idea what year it is from, and can find no information on it online. It also has 3 wires coming out of it, which are not on the OEM one. I know it must be a pre-98 because it still has the mechanical odometer. I am pretty sure since my car is a 96, it doesn't have the chip that will trigger PATS, but would love confirmation on that. Also, I have no idea what the 3 wires coming out of it would go to. One wire bundle comes out of each of the 3 sections that you can pop out of the cluster.

I think it looks sick and would love to put it in (I already replaced the odo gear and put in LEDS since I had extras anyways), but I have no clue if it is compatible or not.

Any information about this cluster or advice on installing it would be welcome. Thanks

Those are overlays from speedhut. Those wires coming out of it plug into a speedhut “switch/inverter” which then taps into the lights in your car, 12v source, and ground. I believe you will need to get the switch/inverter. The switch/inverter controls the color, green /blue, that’s what mine is anyways, and controls dimming. This will connect to your light switch to turn them on, and off with the rest of your lights.
I have speedhut overlays in my GT, and have had them for years without issues. I went with them because they did custom colors, numbers, ect… I wanted silver to match my auto meter ultra lite silver face gauges. The other thing I liked is that they slide over the needles this way it makes for easy install, and don’t have re calibrate the needles.
Hope this helps a bit.
I took a pic of the hookup from the speedhut instructions, and attached it.

Gotcha. Thanks a ton for all the information. I was having a lot of trouble finding anything online. I think I will go ahead and try to throw it in and wire it up.
