nonono,my ute is a fairmont with out the rear doors

So same as fairmont car...........no issuie with running the fairmont cluster..... just i got the 240km/h facial than realised fairmont does 220km/h

So decided put the XR cluster in,doesnt work and heard rumors they didnt work.

Reason is,different circuits are contacted on the same circuirt boards.

These would be sending/reciving different information to run the on board display on dash.

I dont think it is the BEM as all series II III have the same High series one, Wiring harnesses are different here and there so I guess the main difference is in the Wiring harness? Also, the T series have different Display Indicators in them.

If it's a series 1 XR dash, you'll have some hope of getting it working, but if it's series 2, you may as well forget it. There's a good tech article on what's involved on fordmods dot com dot au
