I picked up an OHC from a '99 Explorer yesterday. Everything I have found only shows wiring to '03.
Does anybody know of a wiring how-to on the '04+ Rangers?
BTW, my '04 doesn't have map lights, so where would I get the map light power from?

Does the dome light wiring then just go to the dome light?
I assume when you say dimmer module, you are talking about the dimmer switch?
What about the Blue/Red wire at the console plug for dimming? Do I tie it into the same wire I tie the map lights into?
Thanks Bob! |

The dome light color code didn't change from 2003 to 2004 - still black/light blue and easily accessed at the facory dome.
The 2004~2006 night illumination is still on the light blue/red. It can be found at many places in the dash including the LB/RD at the dimming module or the LB/RD at the audio HU.
The Dimming Module is mostly hidden behind the dash fascia and contains the wheel that controls the level of the dash night illumination. |

Thanks for your help Bob!
I plan on doing an updated OHC install for the '04-'06 Rangers. Hopefully you won't mind me using this information. |
