Not without major re-wiring since that is linked between the info center in your gauge cluster and the computer in the car.
 






Hmmm thx for reply, but I have no idea where to start
So far I find this :

Gray/orange - SIG RTN - signal return?
Black - ground
 






Unless your car came with the information center option, you're basically holding an ornament. See what extra-medium said above.
 






Thx for info.
I will try to do this with pics :) so all will be documented
 






If your explorer did not come with the buttons from the factory, it will not work.
 






Also, if you don't have the physical message center in the gauge cluster, it absolutely can't be done.
 






So my 04 ex has the message center but does not use these buttons. It has the 4x4 buttons on one side and blank insert on the other. I was thinking of trying to get these and use them as the switches for my led bars. Has anyone ever tried this or know if it would work?
