The switch that turns on the headlights. Beside it is the dimmer switch. Below it are 3 buttons 'INFO', 'RESET' and something else. 2010 - 2012 cars have these. I am seeing pics of 2013 cars that have them and some that don't. I would like someone that has a 2013 with the LCD screen in the cluster to tell me if their car has those buttons.

it doesn't have them. all the controls are on the steering wheel. those that would have those buttons don't have trackapps/premium clusters.

OK, here is what I found at the dealership today.

Both cars had the LCD screen in the cluster, but 1 had no buttons on the headlight switch module, while the other car did. Again, both cars had the LCD screen. Can anyone tell me what the buttons are for?

Third pic is of the steering wheel switches. This is where the message centre buttons are relocated to from the headlight switch module.

Launch control... And maybe the adjustable damping?

jim010

Launch control makes sense.

The symbol is of a steering wheel, so I assumed it was to adjust the steering feel. But I assumed all Mustangs had this feature, and so it should not be optional? What option group is this from?

Anyone have this?

jim010

This shot has the middle button with a symbol that looks like a shock. Maybe the damping that you mentioned, but I wasn't aware that 2013s had the option of adjusting dampers from inside the cabin.

jim010

OK, looks like those buttons on the headlight switch module are for the Advance Trac Stability Enhancement System.

This system is only found on the 2013 - on Shelbys. LC is indeed launch control. The middle button is the adjustment for the Bilstein dampers and the right button is for steerintg feel. Danielle was right here.

So now I have my answer. This system is not needed (and not available) on regular Mustangs with the premium 2013 cluster.

This article is of interest. Proves there are no new sensors added in2013 to get track apps.

Link doesn't work for me

There's a guage cluster in eBay out of a 2013 but its a automatic. Does anyone know if the auto and manuals are different?

jim010

Hmm, I can't say why. I click on it and it works. Try typing it in manually.

As for the differences in the gauges, there is a difference between V6 and V8.

There is also a difference between GT, Boss and Shelby, but it is only in the gauge faces, to my understanding. Auto vs manual should make no difference.

Where did you see the cluster? Seems to be gone?

COYOTEHP

Someone on here prob bought that sucker right up. It had a buy it now of 179 with like 900 miles on the odo.

I assuming he is saying the INFO, RESET buttons.

jim010

I got a cluster out of California. A friend will be sending it up to me here in Canada.

I'm into this now. Guess we'll now find out if this will work or not from a 2013 to a 2012.

My guess is if you already have a 2013 base, this would work, though.

Maybe it will work with 2012 buttons under headlight switch without rewiring to steering wheel buttons.

FYI. To get past PATS issue and test cluster you can start car with original cluster. While car is running you can swap clusters and car willl stay running until you turn it off.

I tried this with mine when I purchased a GT500 cluster and it did not work for me.. I also had a pin broken, so that may have been the issue.

dmhines

I remember that. It did work in my 2010 when experimenting with a gt500 cluster.

jim010

Did you get the cluster to work?

dmhines

Yes. Had dealer reprogram PATS so cluster would start the car.
