    How to: 2nd Gen Gauge Cluster Removal and LED Conversion V2

    Yeah, I've already dealt with that. I bench tested each bulb in the cluster. Currently, I have 7 of the 17 bulbs in the cluster lighting up. There might be one or two that might be functioning but aren't at the condition to turn on. There are lights I know should proof-out that aren't. Most...

    How to: 2nd Gen Gauge Cluster Removal and LED Conversion V2

    I have just done a full conversion on my 96 XLT dash. Not just the ILL lights but all the lights. I bench tested every one of them and not all the warning lights work when I put them back in. Some of the lights come on in proof-out some don't. I'm pretty sure all lights should come on for a...

    96 Explorer XLT instrument cluster lights issues, HELP!

    Ok, I figured out how to bench test the bulbs and they all work installed in the cluster. I reinstalled the cluster and buttoned everything back up. Now there are lights I know should be showing up, like the cruise control light, that aren't. One thing to note is that the ABS light seemed to...

    96 Explorer XLT instrument cluster lights issues, HELP!

I am correct in assuming ALL warning lights should illuminate when the key is rotated to RUN and/or START for a second or...

    96 Explorer XLT instrument cluster lights issues, HELP!

    I decided to replace the bulbs in my instrument cluster. Some weren't lighting up at proof-out and one or two of the illumination lights were out too. In the interest of getting it done and not having to worry about it again. I ordered some LED lights, only the warning lights. I forgot to order...

    96 Explorer 5-spd. What have I gotten into?

    Hello, I have recently acquired a 1996 Explorer XLT 4.0l 5-spd. w/143,000 mi. I bought it from my boss at work who bought it from a manager at work so I know it hasn't been abused, much. Besides the peeling paint, it's super straight and relatively clean. I bought it as a prospective vehicle...
