[QUOTE="BeanCrusher, post: 15021203, member: 170453"] I don't think it will be that difficult to make the OEM cluster work... What gauges are working now? Your tach is off in its own little world, true. Voltmeter looks to be working? Fuel gauge? Spedo? If the last three were working before the swap, they should be working now since those circuits should be outside of connectors that would have been futzed with in the swap. What about the battery light? Temp and oil pressure will likely require running some wires to the cluster, since those wires ran through the 4.6 engine harness. For the temp you will need to find a coolant temp sender that is for the instrument cluster, not one for the PCM. There were two in '96s anyway...I think there were still 2 different senders in '97. You will need to install the sensor in the engine somewhere, likely in the block down by the oil filter and run one wire to ground and another either up to the cluster, or to the connector in the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side where the 4.6 engine harness connected, if it was not removed during the swap. I [I][B]*think*[/B][/I] this would connect to a red wire with white stripe at pin 6 of that connector. For oil pressure, I [I]*assume* [/I]that the Coyote OP sender can be used...I believe it is a 6PSI switch, similar to the 4.6s. The Coyote PCM does not need the OP switch to be connected for any reason (this from Ford), thus I removed mine and the associated wires from the Coyote harness. So, you could hijack that OP pressure switch and run the "non ground" wire from the switch similarly to the temp sender, or, to be sure, remove the Coyote OP switch, install a 4.6 switch and run the wire.
