For functional details, see the PREVious caption.

'92-93 clusters are interchangeable (non-airbag); '94-97 clusters are interchangeable (airbag); the only difference is the film circuit, and the lens in the cluster bezel over the 3 bottom Left bulbs.

'93-95 Lightning F150s use a 120mph PSOM; their tachometer faces have red from 5 to 6; and their needles are orange with all-black caps.

All the bulbs are #194. The main cluster connector on the driver's side is Gray; the passenger side is Brown.

The PSOM, lens, blackout ring, terminal clips, shift indicator plates, bulbs & holders are interchangeable between '92-96 (& '97 >8500GVWR) cases. '87-96 gauges are only held in by their terminal clips, except the speedo. '80-91 speedos are held in by 2 screws; '92-97 PSOMs are held captive by the surrounding gauge faces. '80-86 use the same case for tach & non-tach, with a blank face for non-tach. '80-86 gauges are held in by stamped nuts on threaded studs.

A gauge can be disassembled by prying the needle off & removing the 2 screws holding the body to the face plate. To reinstall the needle, the gauge must be powered & have a known signal applied (usually the minimum) before stabbing the needle so it points to the proper reading. The PSOM is an exception because simply putting it into self-test will re-calibrate the needle position, and return it to 0 (if the needle has bounced to the high side).



The oil gauge works in the opposite direction (CCW) from fuel & temp. In ~96, an internal resistor was added to the oil gauge assembly to force it to mid-scale, making it difficult to get the gauge to actually work.



The case screws are 5.5mm (7/32") hex with T15.

Note that both cases have a molded socket for an anti-slosh module (which was only installed in chassis-cabs & RV chassis at the factory) and both film circuits have 4 traces for the socket. Tachometer film circuits have a discrete power trace for the module.
