So I found the now mine 95 Ranger xl ext cab 4x4 5 speed truck in a garage that had been there 10 years. I got it running and found the coolant gauge is kinda sticky and if slap the dash it will kind of work, and the tach will drop to 0 at idle but will pick up and read when giving some throttle. I went online and got a replacement cluster that said would fit a 95 ranger. Out of the box it looked exactly the same, however when installed found that some of the warning lights are in the wrong location and the backlight is green. The one that came out of it has a blue backlight. Is there a different cluster like maybe an early cluster that was dropped and possibly hard to find? Should I send my cluster to be rebuilt especially since the bulb around the 50 mph will not light up even after changing the bulb and the socket even installing in every way and direction possible. Thanks in advance for any advice.
