My instrument panel doesn't have a built in tach and I want to swap it out with one that does.
I'm wondering if Ford made different dash wiring harnesses for the two different instrument panels.
Does anyone know if I can just plug in the new instrument panel?

OK, I did more research and I believe the F37F may mean it's from 1993.
There are some more numbers printed in ink on the plastic printed circuit:
25814
Ao11093

Unfortunately for me, I think it's from a 1993. If correct,
Does anybody have a dash wiring diagram for a 93?

yes, get a cluster from a '89 to '91 ranger or bronco II or a '91 explorer, explorers are most promising as I think they all came with tachs... it is a direct bolt in swap, you can even put your speedometer in the new cluster, once you get the screen off pry the gages out from the outside in and the speedo just falls out, reassemble and put in the new cluster and you have a working tach. Ford changed the wiring of the cluster in '92 so it throws a sock into the game which is why I mentioned '91 and earlier...
 
could this also be done with a older model like an 85' to and 88 maybe with a tach?
 
The "new" module I have has the part number:
F37F-10C956-B
Is there any way to find out what year it is?
 
the F3 in the part number means 1993

and about beaterman's post, it's a bit harder on the older ones
