Gauge pod clips needed

[J.bo]

Anyone know the part # or where to buy the clips that hold the center gauge pod? Mine broke while taking out the pod.:mad2:

Also, what is the interior paint code? I need to touch up the gauge pod.

I was told by my parts guy at ford that if you take the clip to them, they can find one to replace it. even if its broken.

You could check the sticker on the door. That should give you the interior color code

I found out everything I needed. Thanks.

I have the part number for the clips but my ford parts department said no more available. If you find any out there, please let us know. Also Charchoal paint is no more too.

I can send u a picture of a clip that will work that Ford parts guy gave me to try out. Not the same clip but is more common.

Yeah what he said!

IDK if it helps or not but....while I was changing my front door speakers, I noticed the clips that hold the mirror etchusean(sic) on is the same as the gauge pod.
Searched and still could not find a part number, but it leaves a wider range of vehicles to snag the part from.

Dont have a part #. parts guy just gave them to me for free. i guess I could get it for you if you really need it. here is a picture of the clips in the mean time.

[J.bo]

Yes I really need it. Could you get the part number or send me any extras if you have any?

The backlight went out on my voltmeter. How does that come out? Pull the whole thing forward?

Put the gearshift in Drive

Pull on the sides of the gauge pod

It will sound like your breaking something but it will come out

You should consider replacing BOTH bulbs with LEDs. They are brighter and give off almost no heat. You'll should see the burned marks on the top of each gauge from the incandescent bulbs.

Thanks Bro. I got it out. Took more force than I expected to get it off.

No kidding Jim. That thing is brutal, thought for sure it was gonna snap in half!

Great way to wire in a radar detector, wish I would have done it many years ago.

Guys I found the clips so if anyone need some send me a pm for details. I need to order them.

Doing a search on eBay, it appears that P/N is not the clip.
