1354E to 1354M 94 Explorer

[84bluebronco2]

My 94 Explorer currently has a M5OD/1354E and I want to swap to the 1354M. I've found one from a 96 Ranger with an M5OD/1354M, but using the search bar leads me to ask a few questions...

1. My current factory D-Shafts should be plug and play?

2. The pigtail for the indicators on the dash: plug and play?

3. The floor plate: Do I need a new one, will the one from the Ranger fit, or is it easy enough to modify my current one?

Thanks everyone.

I appreciate it. Rep to you. I'll search for the wiring diagram.

I've been doing some searching and can't come to a conclusive answer...

Does the wiring for the dash indicators for 4x4 and low range just have to be grounded to activate the lights?

If so, I should be able to strip out all the 1354 E wiring, and then splice the grounds to the sensor on the 1354 M.

Any input would be great!

At the cluster:

Light Blue is for the 4x4High light. (circuit #210 ; This becomes Grey and gets renumbered to circuit #783 at connector #200 under the dash/ontop of the trans tunnel before running to the E-shift module.)

Brown / White is for the 4Low light. (circuit #782)
