Default Need a new dash cluster

Hi everyone,

I have a big problem at the moment. My dash circuit board is in half from me accidently driving a screw driver through it :togo: . I have done the cursing and the threatening, now its time to do something about it.

I remember someone saying that it is possible to get a new one from Ford. Cost wise, what can I do? I need the cluster to drive the car. What I was hoping for was possibly a part number and maybe even a price estimate on the enitre cluster?

The weekend is coming up and my local Ford has closed for the day - otherwise I would be checking with them first. I was hoping to be ready with a part number and payment for monday so that I can start using my car as soon as possible.

My car is a Focus Zetec 06 model. Any help would definitely make my day! Thanks in advance.

Ouch, I think you misunderstood the driver part of screwdriver :(

Post a pic of what happened. You may be able to get one from a wrecker and just have that programmed by Ford, although not sure that can be done.

Id be more concerned about why you needed to use so much force on a delicate piece of electronics that you could break it in half
