How do I make this EATC work??

[caseywan]

Can any body tell me how I can make this EATC work with a SHO...

It's out of a newer Lincoln, maybe a 97 or 98.

I did a search and cam across some info but I couldn't figure out if anybody was talking about an EATC that looks like this, or just the hard button ones that look like a regular SHO EATC's.

Any help would be great.

It is possible to use the lincoln EATC in the SHO, with some modification though. Do a search on the forum using the keywords "Lincoln EATC". Here's a good thread to start with:

Quoted from the thread: "What you need to do is take the curcuit board from a 93+ unit and solder the newer faceplate to it. Then you'll have to modify the mounting tabs around the lense that hold it to the rear part. It's easy if you know how to solder and use a knife."

I may also do a swap in the near future, these units look nice!

I'm located about 60 miles SW of the city and could lend some expertise in the swap. If you are interested pm me.
