I want to do this, also! On Ebay, I don't see a console that specifically says its for a Sport Trac. Will any model for a Ford vehicle work? How do you know which ones will work (and what model years)?
Also, does any member know of a place in Westchester county (New York) that will do this type of installation? I'm a little afraid of trying it myself.

Did a quick search, found a few listed..
2002 Console Ford Explorer Sport OVERHEAD, TAN, W/ COMPASS 05M050 $65 (Code 5965518-8771235)
This was the average affordable price. Many listed at $90 to $100. I personally think that is a bit high.

Jay and CindyG. I installed a overhead console in mine this past summer. I love it! If either of you need any assistance, feel free to drop me a msg (email plz).
(I would inquire to see if you are getting the temperature sensor and mounting bracket and wiring harness - the bracket and harness are necessary - the sensor can be added later (it's about $19 at Ford).
For now, I have linked you to an eBay search for "explorer overhead console". You are looking for one from a ##-## Explorer ---(I have to find the actual years)---. There are two types - one with the sunglass holder/garage door opener and one with the sunroof control. It's up to you which you prefer to get.

Alright, not sure what the years are (I think 95-01) but a console that is shaped like the one below will definitely work.

One of this shape, I couldn't tell you for sure if it would fit or not. But the one's that I've seen added to Tracs are from Explorers ('96, '97, etc). Go with a console (link above posted at 12:23) and you'll be safe.

BTW, Oscar Lopez's project tutorial on the installation quotes the mounting bracket @ $12. And Ford temperature sensor part # is f8712a647aa.
And as price goes... find one cheap on eBay. Junk yards do want a lot for them (that is WHEN they have them). I bought mine from LKQ Southeast (they have some all around the nation) for about $50.00. AND THAT WAS OVERPRICED! Lol. But I wanted it, hehe. $15-$45 is what you should pay for a decent one. Good luCK!
