I am going to replace a defective cluster with a used one, is it a simple matter of removing the old and installing the used one or does it need to be programed by a technician

MPH and RPM gauges not working, it has not been scanned because I have not replaced it as yet. Do I have to go to an authorized Jeep dealer for this scanning

I meant was instrument cluster diagnosed by a trained Tech. There maybe other reasons Tach and speeedo out. It will save you $ and time if you have it diagnosed first. And if faulty replace not necessary to have Jeep program someone ASE certified can do that
