Excellent help Ron. I'll look into it tomorrow morning. Thanks again.

Anyone have a suggestion on next steps?

I went to the junkyard today and picked up a second complete gauge set. Both it and the one I purchased from a local guy act the same. The fuel gauge seems to work, the temperature gauge works. Haven't taken it for a drive as yet. Truck is still on jack stands. The oil pressure at start jumps...

I removed the old cluster today and took it apart. Looks like I'll be able to change the speedometer section of the gauge if I get another one without a tachometer. Looking locally for one.

Thanks Ron.

I assume there is a way to transfer the odometer over to the new cluster?

Thanks Ron. Do you feel I need to replace the gauge cluster?

I think the gauge cluster is bad. I removed the cluster. Then ran an ohm meter across the plug below: Starting at the left, which I believe to be the fuel wire, I get 37.4 but it was moving around a lot, 1 (error code on my tester I think), 30.0, Error code, 28.5, 31.8, 103, 54.7, 54.6, Error...

Key off shows 12+ volts. Engine running shows 14+ volts. Just bought the truck a few weeks ago. Going through it and fixing all failing items. The fuel gauge has been down since day one. So far I have: Replaced Cruise Control Buttons Replaced Negative Battery Terminal Oil Change Power Wash...

Getting the sending unit out was quite the project. 26 years of rust and red lock-tight. Wow! It is out and the new one is in. Now the alternator light is on. :( Going to let it warm up and see if the gauge ever moves. This happened before I change the temp sensor but then corrected itself...

Gauge works to Hot on ground. Changing the sending unit. Thanks.

Much appreciated. Will follow up in the morning.

I updated the description. My Ranger is a 1997. The engine is a 3.0.

I changed the coolant today and now I have good heat. I also flushed the heater core. Both were in bad condition. I noticed that the water temperature gauge is not functioning. The gray tube coming off of the heater control valve is torn. Is this the part related to the temperature gauge not...
