New Gauge Cluster for 2000 Ford Ranger 2wd

[grantos]

First off, I apologize if this information is redundant or multi posted and tiresome to some. After some research and poking around, I decided that I was able to dig up a gauge cluster vehicle from a donor vehicle and replace the non-tach boring black version in my truck. With lots of information and reading, here's what I put together. Right off the top, Thanks to other rangerstation posters for the historic and helpful information.

So after the installation, I realized the new cluster's Theft Light wasn't blinking like my original one did. After some investigation, I realized that the Theft Light of the original and new ones were slightly different. I discovered the new one was being driven with a different level signal as well.

So, unfortunately, the two were not Totally plug and play but simple enough. Here's the procedure of what I did. Good luck with that.
