Lost tachometer and speedometer function on original cluster (my bad). received used cluster, everything works except starting codes need to be changed to match my original keys. Will I have any problems getting my local Ford dealer to change the code for me? The Chrysler electric friend that checked out the used cluster for me said I might have a problem with Ford because of my used part.

Thank You, G.
