I found out tonight that a 1997 mountaineer cluster is not compatible with a 2000 ranger.

Just now got home. Put my new radio in and since the left button row is blue I figured I'd put the blue dash cluster in.

Looked great! BUTTT where the "door ajar" light on a ranger is sits the "fuel reset" and... as I was driving home I called the wife on the bluetooth. "Hey the radio works great honey... uhhh... the speedometer isn't working... crap and I smell burning wires"

Had to turn around and go back to work (had just left) and put the old cluster in.

So if anyone wants a fried speedo cluster that has pretty blue overlays with some of the indicators in the wrong place.. send postage. Didn't think so.
