@@everydayirace After doing some research I found that the likely cause is the slosh module found in the cluster. The module can be bypassed to restore gauge operation. I'll give it a go
Thanks man, great video. I have a stock 98 ranger. Coolant temp is reading too low. I grounded out the coolant temp sensor and it went max cold. I took a magnet and verified the gauge can go full hot. Going to try a 200-220 ohm resistor and see if that takes care of it
@@bakihanma7247 I haven't had time to get around to it yet. I do have 100 resistors I bought for 5 dollars though so I'm not worried about messing up 😂
Wow way too technical for my skill level, but I appreciate the amount of effort you gave to get it right! I have a 96 ranger with blown lights and I will just get new bulbs? Maybe led?
The 95-97 gauge cluster is actually blue with white dials when you replace the bulbs with Sylvania 194 LEDs. The dim factory 194 bulbs turn the blue guages green. Still dimmable. My 96 has been this way for 4 years now.
Question. What gauge clusters are compatible with my 95 mazda b2300. I'm assuming its the exact same one as a 95' ranger cluster. Per my comment on your other video, I am having issues with the odometer, speedometer, trip sensor and coolant temp gauge. I guess I'll try to replace the whole thing. Just want to see what options there are. Also, my cluster has no tachometer, and its a manual trans. It can still fit a regular ckuster correct?
95 will plug in and work like stock, 96-97 will work, but check engine light will not work, 98-03 will work, coolant temp will read higher and cel will not work. Plugging a 95 cluster with tach in my 95 worked, except the tach, might need some extra work.
@@everydayirace I actually got a 96' cluster from a junk yard 3 mins from my house for $40. I hooked it up, and the fuel tank marks almost empty, which I will test since I just got the trick and haven't fueled it up, so I might fuel it up and try it. Tach works, haven't tested speedometer, nor odometer will test tomorrow. The interesting thing is that the coolant temp sensor marks hot, just like the other old cluster. Im guessing it might be a sensor in the truck? Anyway. Thanks for the help!!! You are awesome. Just wanted to update you.
I removed the fan so I can calibrate the gauge, to calibrate the gauge I needed to see what it would read at 240deg.......let me know if you have anymore questions.
Having this exact issue on my ranger. Will be doing this later today. Thank you!
Yeah this is very helpful Thanks for taking the time to show this fix!
I used black face and white face and both work good with no modifications i think this video is pointless doesn't fix anything.
Great video
Thanks Louis.
Also having fuel gauge issues but that may be due to a bad fuel pump. Can you buy new gauges for these?
I don't know.

Very informative video, thanks! I have a question. Do all other gauges work normally? Fuel, RPM, speed, etc.? Thanks!
All the other gauges work the same, some of the warning light don't work such as cel.
@@everydayirace Thanks for the update. Gonna scout the junkyard for a Sport Trac cluster this weekend.
@@AdrianicillinSounds like a good plan.

When you ground coolant temp sensor gauge should read full hot.
@@everydayirace I bought a 220 ohm resistor. Once I get time to throw it in I'll let you know how it goes
@@firstlast--- how did it go

Hi .thanks for share
I have Ford Ranger Splash 1995 and have a lot of problems with OBD2 scanners .The one you show will work on my Ranger 1995?
It works on my 95 and 96 ranger.
@@everydayirace OK,thank you
@@norbertrivera you're welcome.
@@everydayirace Thanks .
You turn on your Ranger and as i can see the RPM gauge of your new cluster is not working.
you are not a quitter, that's for sure. thank you for that.
@EVERY DAY I RACE does this still apply to a 1996 Mazda b2300 with OEM gauge with only the speedometer no rmp gauge.
This applies to 98+ gauge clusters that get installed in 95-97 trucks, since 95-97 ranger parts are becoming harder to find.
Was it a half watt 220 ohm resistor you used?
Yes, that's what I ended up using.
Rpm is off on mine

My question is, why is your truck getting so hot just idling
I removed the fan so I can calibrate the gauge, to calibrate the gauge I needed to see what it would read at 240deg.......let me know if you have anymore questions.
Whats the exactly name for the obd11 scanner?

I just bought the white faceplates on eBay. Much easier then swapping the whole entire cluster.
my temp gauge in my 01 is pegging hot is this the same fix?
No.
@@everydayirace any idea how to fix it the dealer said it should be a resistor
Well ask the dealer which resistor.
@@everydayirace they didnt help much besides saying the junk yard lol thanks anyways
