My 1996 Mystique GS has a tach.
{I do hate spam, but that isn't really part of my email address. Remove the string ?HatesSpam? from the email address ?BobHatesSpam@blaylock.to? to email me. No advertisements. Spammers will be dealt with very harshly!} ------- Moonlight Blue 1996 Mercury Mystique GS , Zetec engine, ATX. No mods. (Well, OK, one mod. Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios. I liked the Tempo's radio better. That counts as a mod, doesn't it? I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare. I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars. Does this count as a mod? If so, I guess I have two mods. Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)

I bought a Tac cluster I found on car-parts.com for 50 dollars. It works great. My wife wasn't too happy that I just bought it for the tac though...

I'd be interested in a part number or two if you can find them. I'm having trouble finding anything resembling a tach cluster. I find some of the parts but they don't sound like the right ones. What car are you using to search under? Year, model, engine, contour, mystique???? Thanks in advance.

I'm not having any problems pulling up the Instrument Clusters with a Tac. Here is what you need to do.
Put in the year= 1998
Car= Ford Contour
Part= Speedo
State=ALL (They will ship)
Then on the next screen it will ask you which car you have. 2.0 ATX/MTX; SVT; 2.5 ATX/MTX year of build Etc...
Just go lookon your car at the build date and if it's less or more enter accordingly.
Also in replacing the instrument cluster you void the warrenty and make the car have untrue milage. Ford keeps track of the milage when ever a car is serviced by them so try to find one as close to yours as possible. Mine is off by 7015 miles (less than true) but I have 96,000 miles on the car and no warrenty left.
Also if it says 22K 52K 8K that is milage on the cluster.
AOD/AT is Automatic.
SE/GS/GL/LS are the models.
And if you pay more than $125 your paying too much.

Thanks very much...I'll try that and see. I'm not worried about the warranty anymore...98...76,xxx miles...  With all the aftermarket I have I wouldn't even bother trying for warranty work.

Yeah it sucks, I hate not having a tach. I need to find one but cant find any near my mileage. I guess I will just have to stay with the aftermarket idea.
