horseydug: it is something tan can't remember the exact name. A Contour without a CEL, now there's the ideal car. My stock '98 has o/d light in same place and the check engine light is the first warning light to the right of center maybe you can rewire to it. tricked96: Thanks re the '97 "Pumice" color, which presumably applies to exterior as well. Ford switched to Prarie Tan in later years, a wise decision IMO.

Well on the electric speedometer cars you could unhook the cluster and apply the correct voltage to get it to spin up. On the 95's you can get a "HIGH" speed drill and spin it up. The other option for both is that you can dis assemble the speedometer and manually reset the numbers. I don't recommend this if you've never done this before as it's very tedious work.

I was that the CEL is where you said but I am too lazy to do a rewire to make it work and since I know what light is the CEL I will make due with it as it is. looking at my old cluster I found ALOT of ODD lights on it like one that shows a pic of a strut, and one that says sport, and another one that shows a fan with a radiator behind it... all of these didn't have lights in the socket from ford... anyone ever see them on theirs?

Glad it worked for you, looks great. Anyway, try replacing the bulbs in the CEL slot, that may do the trick...
