I have the electrical diagram for the mountaineer.Since the 96 2WD transmission came with a harness of course it fits the sensor I had forgotten that little piece.


The 97 Expo EVTM shows both types of Range Sensor although it isn't very well marked as to which is which. As I said before, the TRS is early 97 MY and the DTRS came in later in 97 MY. It should be easy to identify what you have because the sensor/harness plugs have different shapes for the two types and the number of wires serving the two sensors is different. 

I always cringe when I see "plug and play" applied to Ranger/Expo 5.0 swaps - usually attributable to someone who hasn't actually done it.:squint:

From an electrical point of view only, I would say that the easiest swaps would be:
  • 99~01 Expo 5.0 into 99~00 V6 Ranger. 
  • 96~97 Expo 5.0 into 95~97 Ranger. 
As you step away from those combos, either donor or donee or both, the electrical complexity increases.
