Instrument Cluster Swap Question
#51
Ya, I couldn't believe that the junkyard I go to is open everyday from 8-6ish. It is really nice at 8:30 in the morning on Sunday when you are in a junkyard, hearing the birds churping, no one else around, and the smell of old gas in the air. That is the time I will go from now on. They have like 1800 cars and change them out daily.

That's my cluster build thread. I had a buddy do it for me...i had no time to do it myself. I did all the switches though.
That thread should have all the info you need....even if you don't wanna do LED's in the cluster, the same thread applies to changing the color of the cluster(paint).
You can use 01 and older Explorer, 05ish(idk) and older Explorer Sport and Explorer Sport Trac clusters to get the white faced like mine and the original posters. simple plug and play...it'll all work. Silver faced is a '03 model year ranger exclusive...you can find those and they'll work as well.

Hey all, I have two questions if you would be so kind.
1st, what is that small board/chip in the top driver side corner of the cluster? Is that something i should swap if i change out the cluster?
2nd, i picked up a white face cluster really cheap and was really excited to get it but noticed that it doesn't have the 4x4 and 4x4 low lights on the front. The holes are in the back but light can't get through. Is there a quick way to fix that or is the cluster a loss if i want those lights?

Ok, could I still use it if im not worried about the 4x4 lights for the time being or will that prevent the system from working properly?

yeaaa buddy. no probs. And make sure to goahed and replace all them bulbs. Also...auto cluster/manual cluster.....nobiggie. that shift indicator comes right now no problem, and your stock black filler piece fits into where the shift indicator used to be.
