Have a dull, dingy, scratched up instrument cluster/speedometer pod? In this video I show you how to remove it, take it apart, polish it up, and reinstall it. This video is also a set up for some future videos including how to re-solder the connections on the back to fix the dim/flickering/out odometer problem that plagues so many 2006-2011 Ford Crown Victorias and for installing a double DIN stereo with it off the vehicle.
I also show you how to adjust your PRND21 indicator to get it lined up.
