MTX Intrument cluster question

[javve]

I am taking my dash out to replace the blend door actuator. In the process I noticed my instrument cluster has an o/d off light. Did Ford use the same cluster setup for both and just hook up the wiring for auto's? I noticed the harness by the shifter has a spot for the illumination for the gear selection in an auto and the plug for the od button.

With a couple of things pointing to the dash has been out at one point, I want to make sure that the cluster wasn't changed and the mileage is the correct mileage. I know there is always that chance it was changed lol

I am also going to check my color code on the door today. The passanger side door has red paint under the green, I found green overspray when I changed the front passenger fender, and a bolt was red instead of green in the fender (but that is for a different section of the forum.) I am thinking I need to pull a car fax. No matter what I am glad I got the car, it's a 95, with a manual, and all the options I wanted.

The cluster changed mid 92. The two 92s I've had had the dual purpose cluster, my friends 92 does not, his car has an earlier vin.

This is in a 95, so in mid 92 they changed it to where it didn't have the dual purpose cluster? or do some 93-95 have a dual purpose cluster as well?

They changed it so that they were dual use.

I'll get the vin in the morning and pm it to you, appreciate it. Dash is back in after getting the actuator in and I am tired!
