the cable is for the shift indicator.......

There should be some plastic clips that hold it in.....

yes its the shift indicator.

Heres how to remove it:

Under the steering column theres a white clip that looks like this:



Take the red cable off the metal hook then unscrew the white clip and squeeze it between the steering column and something else. Its a ***** to get back in there so remember exactly what position it was in when you pulled it through.

Were you interested in getting a different cluster? I was just a the JY and say a silver sport trak cluster and a white ranger cluster. Both from a 05.
