1994 Button PROBLEM

[Jy94SHO]

When I bought my SHO the "Max A/C" button and the "Vent" button were both pressed in so they barely say anything, like broken.

I was wondering where I might find these two buttons to replace the ugly broken ones, and if possible if any of you all could help me out by sending me some/ letting me buy them from you?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is a very common problem with SHOs, Tauruses, and every other Ford product with that style EATC control head. You best bet is to get a "hard button" EATC from a '95. The unit was redesigned with a different type of button that should never crack. Do a search on ebay for "hard button EATC" an you will find many of them for sale. Use caution though, there are many units that look like they will fit but they are electrically different. Make sure that it is labeled to work (or have come from) a Taurus or Sable. The ones for the '88-94 Lincoln Contental will work but 1) they have a green display rather blue and 2) they are a 1/4" shorter and will take a tiny bit of modification to the case to get to work. AFAIK no other vehicals control head will function properly. Expect to pay around $100 for one off of ebay, you may have good luck at a local salvage yard and get one cheaper though.

I did a Hard Button EATC search on EBAY and the only ones that came up were the Lincoln EATCs with the green display. I don't want all my buttons to be blue and have one big green block for the climate control...So I guess I just have to wait it out and keep looking. Thanks though.
