[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I bet we find similar across the board for Other fords too
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Its a really neat system, there is WAY LESS wiring
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]it does make it more difficult to do this
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]The C110 (c112, C115) 42 pin square plug went away at the same time they switched so it would be easy to tell
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]ALL of our RBV had the 42 pin plug from 95-2005
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I am not sure if the 06+ explorer, sport trac and others made the switch too, but I am guessing they did
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]At the end of the day I am met with two challenges SO FAR, there maybe more coming.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]The instrument cluster, usually I can hack into them and move wires around, add signals, etc
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Not anymore............
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]For a 5.0 swap I have no way to hookup the OD cancel light and the coolant temp sensor!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These signals now come from the pcm via can bus to the cluster.........well the pcm went bye bye. So a custom cluster of sorts will have to be created, I do not want to leave a non working coolant gauge in the dash, also the theft light will always flash with no PCM....
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I could have easily just ripped all the 07 out and replaced with a say 96 style dash, use a 05 cluster so it looks just like an 07 but where is the fun in that? the 05+ trucks have the fuse panel in the passenger kick panel, everything is completely different, I wanted to keep as much 07 as possible (retain the ABS computer, Restraints computer, speed control computer, 4x4 control module), etc etc.........and here we are
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Last night I finished preparing the 07 wiring, identified the 11 wires I need to hookup the holley, and now I am adding the C110 plug to the 07 harness and then finally it can go back in, plug and play!
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I still expect some issues, a custom instrument cluster and subsequent wiring is in my future
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]My goal is starter and fuel pump, with those two things she will run
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Then I can worry about wiring up a custom cluster to look legit.
