Instrument Cluster Wiring Diagram Needed

[murkinstock]

Hello fellas! Well I have switched all 16 lights in my instrument panel to LED's, the ONLY downside I have found is when the truck is running, the 4x4 button lights are dimly lit. That's not much of a problem though. BUT it made me decide I want to add resistors to the wires so I know everything is working correctly.

I read somewhere, someone who did the LED's kept their CEL stock and maybe a couple others. For what reason? I don't know, but it kinda has me worried lol.

So I ask, does anybody have a wiring diagram or know what wires I need to add resistors to? (Preferably for all lights in the dash as I have no intention of going back to incandescent) I looked and looked but I can't find anything.

Also, should I do a write up on it, if I get the resistor stuff figured out?
I have found it's pretty dang easy when you've done it but it's definitely intimidating the first time. Thought it all could be useful to someone.

Thanks, -Murk

Here are forum-friendly resolution scans. You can see higher resolution by going to the Explorer Photo Gallery, searching on the name (i.e. 62_1) and then clicking on 'View Larger Image' under the image. These are taken from 1994 Ford Explorer Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual, a copy of which is always available on eBay for $10-15, and includes schematics, connectors, and locations for everything, including locations within the vehicle. I urge anyone owning an Explorer to grab one.

Yeah I need to get one really bad.

Perfect though! Thank you so much RoadRunner!

Cool idea! Thought about it myself, but I figured I'd just replace the burned out bulbs with regular ones. I dislike messing with clusters too much. This stems from several issues with another vehicle that made me say "great! It works now. I'm never screwing with it again!" But that was digital.
