No, as I said in that thread, it's a single-wire connector. Should be just below the L edge of the glove box.

I'm uploading the page out of the '93 EVTM that shows the location of the connector. It'll be in this album in a few minutes. If you need a higher-resolution version, send me a real e-mail or a PM with your real e-mail address. Make sure to remind me what you need in that message.

I have a 2000 F-150. Speedometer is only 10% off. I would like to get it back on the correct speed. Do I have to take it to FORD Dealer to do this?
From what little I know about '97-up OBD-II systems, any code scanner can reprogram the speedometer on that truck, and many parts stores offer that service free now.

just incase anyone cares anymore i finally got my speedometer recallibrated. for starters my psom connector is black w/orange not blue w/yellow. Thanks to a friend at a local ford dealership (gave me speedo diagram). grounded wire and started to re-callibrate but it went up not down. so i stopped and tried it again and it would not. apparently the speedo had been reset 6 times ( go figure). Luckily i had bought and extra gauge cluster off of ebay for $15. i swapped out the speedometers, and grounded the wire, IT WORKS!!! Got the speedo recallibrated and i am done for a while hopefully. Thanks for putting up with my **** and trying to help me.
Thanks,

Jeff
