Quick Overhead Console Mod ?

[PSDfreak]

Im installing a overhead console out of an explorer, I think I have all the parts I need but am unsure about the temperature sensor...I have cut a few off of some different explorers at the junk yard but it seems that every explorer I have seen has 2 of them right next to each other...they look identical so maybe either/or will work...the only difference visually are the wire colors...

They both have two wires coming out of them...

One has: Blue w/ White Tracer<font color="green"> &amp; </font>Blue w/ Yellow Tracer

Second has: Pink w/ Black Tracer<font color="green"> &amp; </font>Orange w/ Red Tracer

I am colorblind so those colors may not be perfect [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Any help?

Thanks Guys,
Casey

Can you get the part number for either one of them? According to THIS WRITE UP F87Z-12A647-AA is the one to use.

I just read the whole thing and it says he used the blue/yellow and blue/white for the temp sensor. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]

The part number on the sensor is hard to make out but reading further down the write up, I found this...

Blue/Yellow
Blue/White
Temp Sensor:
These wires are to be ran to wherever you mount the temperature sensor. Some mount it inside the car, some outside.

Guess that answers my question [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks Rodney

Aloha Casey-
just curious: I see that the Bronco looks like it has a slight "hump" in the ceiling in the picture and the overhead console seems to rest on this area. Whereas in our trucks we have have a flat/upward arching ceiling. So, I am curious as to how you will compensate for this? hope it goes well!

Shouldnt be a problem..I haven't modded mine at all to fit into my truck and when I stuck it up to the roof this evening it looks pretty darn close...a little shaving of the contoured part to fit around the trim piece and I should be A-OK...

Make sure to take lots of pictures...especially on what you use to mount it.

If anybody needs a few pictures, I have some of my installation in "my gallery".

Cheers!
