Been working on the trac I fixed the instrument cluster by swapping out the guts with those from a 99 Explorer....all functions are now working including the theft light. instrument clusters and I go waaaaaaaay back.....I have taken apart my share. This one get the royal treatment and is now clean like new.
CLEAN, all parts get cleaned by hand with warm water
Hook cluster up to power before re setting the needles, take pics before and after so you can match the correct "at rest" positions
The 02 trac cluster has all sorts of residue in between the printed circuits, that is a new one on me! Fixed now
Now that I have the 2002 Sport/ trac wiring book I was able to do some more wiring. Comparing the explorer C115 42 pin plug to the 02ST C110 plug there are 9 pins where the wires and circuits do not match up.
So I researched each one of those circuits on both sides of the plug and sorted out what needs to happen.
More on that later
The sport trac while running developed a couple of codes P0350 and P0340 these are coil circuit failures and camshaft position sensor codes..... sometimes these codes are triggered by a bad alternator and sometimes they are related to a bad cam shaft position sensor.....stay tuned. Since the truck was running like baby butt smooth and then slowy started to stumble, then the codes appeared I am guessing the CPS went bye bye. I will be checking that out today.....
