It works beautifully just 20k behind my original odometer but I wrote it all down

What's the red button for ?

 

[rangerguy95]

Its the big red button of doom muahahahaha!

Really its just a dog light switch since my stock ones got ripped off while hill climbing, but I found it mine can be wired to the factory harness so now that button will be for a light bar I plan to put on

01-03 Explorer Sport/Sport Trac (and 01-03 Ranger Tremor) gauge cluster.


Though similar and it will bolt in to a Ranger, '04-05 Explorer Sport/Sport Trac clusters are not compatible with 98-03 Rangers due to added electronics and a digital odometer.

NOT trolling or downing you on not knowing the year your pulled it from, just posting this up for anyone whom finds this thread and finds a '04-05 Sport/Sport Trac and expects it to work on their '03 and older Ranger.

What did you do with your odometer??? I have a how-to posted on another forum on making it match that I'm working on posting here.

Making it match isn't extremely difficult, it does require a lot of patience to line everything up.

The door jamb read 2004 but Im guessing it was earlier 2004 which would make it 2003 designed

 

[rangerguy95]

and as for the odometer, I pulled the plate with the electronics attached and just putthat in my old plastic housing, so for right now my odometer reads less than what was originally on the truck but im trying to figure out how to set it to the correct mileage to avoid any legal issues
