Installing instrument cluster with tach!
Installing instrument cluster with tach!
Has ANYONE done this swap successfully in a 1993 F-150? I have a 1993 with 5.0 and E4OD. I bought a cluster with a tach and hooked it up. Everything worked except the voltmeter. After further inspection of both clusters, I found the laminated circuit board to be different in the voltmeter area. So what changes? The circuit board or the wiring into the plug. I just would like to hear of someone that did it. I bought the cluster from someone that had a 95 and said this was from a 93. He believe it had to be same year to make the swap. When he hooked it up on his 95 the voltmeter did not work and the alternator would not charge. I cleaned all contacts and tested gauge with 9 volt battery and it responded. The circuit has a 92 part number on it. I can't believe it changed from 92 to 93!!! My truck is a speed density system. Either the circuit board changes or the wiring to the plug changes. Would really like to hear a success story. Has to be a 92-96 story. 87-91 is different story.
I put a whole cluster with a tach in my 92. BUT the one I put in was out of a 92. It was a simple plug in swap and everything worked first time. I dont know if this helps you or not, but i thought I would post it.
