Im wondering if the instrument cluster from a 2005 ranger would work in a 1999 ranger?

 

clusters from 95+ are interchangeable

 

right on, so its nice and easy?

 

should be plug and play

 

i thought it was 95 to 03 that were compatible....

if true then 99 in an 05 won't work

 

hmm,
I have no idea at all. So i will just wait for someone to make a dominate answer :P lol

 

Nope, won't work.
after 2003 ford changed the pin outs, so it won't plug in

95 to 03 are the only clusters that will work for you.

 

greeeat thanks man
saved me the mass confusion

 

while were on this subject, will an 02 sport trac cluster work in my 02 ranger? me and alan think so but i wanna double check before i go bidding

 

ya it will. I have an 03 in my 99

end whorage lol

 

Yes it will. It will just require alot of splicing wires and if I remember correctly there is no way of making the odometer work.

 

yes....cuz it is a 03

they are compatible from 95 TO 03

he's looking for an 05 to put in his 99 which will not work

 

he was referring to my question lol

 

Stigg, are those blue lights on your cluster aftermarket? Cause they look great.

I would totally consider doing that to my 09 4x4. I think the lights on the door panel window switch and lock/un-lock would look out of place. Unless they could be changed to a blue LCD as well.

Do you think it's possible?

 

yea the blue light look really good you do that yourself or is there a kit for it?

 

you have to sand off the overlays and put in blue leds or paint the overlays blue

 

any specail kind of paint. im actuaully thinking of putting the same cluster in my 99.

 

Glass paint is what most people use, can be found at most hobby shops.

 

can you sand off the overlays to a 1993 and paint it also? if so im doing it today.

 

i know a kid that will never use a forum idk why but he made a custom harness so he can have the 06 guages in is 01... he got one from the junk yard and just cut the wires halfway and rewired it to his he said color to color but i dont wanna risk it.
im gonna ask him for a pic tmw
