Default A/C not working

Has anyone ever heard off the a/c not working because of an instrument cluster change?

you have to get the correct cluster ... there may be several types you can use .. but, i don’t even know what truck we are talking about model/year/motor/mileage.. then it will need to be programmed for your truck.
