[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I have the wiring solved, I THINK LOL
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]After comparing three dash boards with their prospective wiring, I decided the easiest path forward was to remove the 05 engine bay harness and install the original 097 engine bay harness, as long as I could identify the 18 wires I need to interface with the truck.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]So I did just that. After many more hours with the 07 ranger wiring book and the actual 05 and 07 wiring on the shop floor I was able to locate all the wires I need. So then I unbolted everything that was in the way from the ABS pump to the Radiator and AC condenser all the way around to the cruise control controller......and just like that the 05 wiring is out.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Then I prepared the 07 wiring
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]And now it is about to go back in.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Once this is complete I expect to have all of this sorted out! and be able to start the truck
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]There is only ONE wire that does not have a home in the 07
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]The Overdrive off indicator light from the Holley PCM to the instrument cluster....the 07 instrument cluster does not have separate wires for each light anymore instead the cluster and the PCM just talk over the can bus system. So I will need to be clever and add a OD off light .... I did however notice that the ABS controller has the ability to turn on a "tow mode" light bulb in the cluster so I may be able to use that.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Next up we shall see how happy the 07 is with my decisions
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif] Hopefully the next post or two will be with a running truck[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]2007 dash next to a 2005 dash, there are quite a few differences as far as wiring goes! However this 07 dash (left) and the 07 dash in the truck appear to be identical, so I'm guessing all 07-11 trucks will be the same.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Also the 05 dash appears to be just like the 01-04 sports and sport tracks I am used to dealing with.
