C115, explorer 42 pin connector,
pin 29 LB/BK is low range 4x4 input to pcm..... A 5.0 does not have this wire, no 4x4 system in place of any kind

Here is typical 5.0 Explorer C115 42 pin "pin out"
On the left is the 2000 explorer 5.0 PCM/engine side
On the right is 98 Ranger 3.0 5 speed, body side (C112m I think on a Ranger) 

the check mark on the far right indicates the wire is present on both trucks and match up. a - (dash) equals not present on ranger
I THINK the "0" in the left column means the wire is not present or needs attention
and then later I added the / (Slash) through the "0" as I checked each wire off
At the bottom of the second page written in pencil is a list of wires not present for my swap, both on the ex side and the ranger side
Your 02 Ranger may be slightly different, but I bet not much


I can try to scan these in and get better copies if needed..





close up






Those pages should be helpful to you, not exact, but helpful to get started 

The 02 sport trac v8 thread AND the 98 ranger 5.0 thread are a good place to see the alternator and power dist, starter harness mods to integrate explorer underhood layout into a Ranger


You will need to wire up your alternator feeds, the starter wiring harness, ac clutch and ac high pressure switch
Once running you will probably need to get a Dagota digital speedometer interface so the 2002 speedo and inst cluster will be happy.

Does your 02 have 4 wheel abs brakes? cruise control?
It does have abs/cruise control and a/  c

I'll go over my wiring on paper and for sure figure out what needs to be moved so at least the stuff that can be just  soldered in the connectors is done.
