I want to upgrade my instrument cluster to one with a tach. I know that all 96+ clusters are electronic and 95s are cable driven. So, if I have a 97 can I just simply plug in the existing wire harnesses into the new cluster with tach and have everything work properly assuming that the new cluster is electronic? I will be getting a cluster out of a 98 Mystique GS which also has the Zetec engine. Let me know if the 98+ clusters will not work in pre-98s and I won't buy it. Thanks for your help!
