Will a 94 Continental EATC work?

[shomatt]

Does anyone know if a 94 Lincoln Continental EATC work in a 93 SHO? It has the same buttons in the same locations, but the screen kind of looks different.

Thanks!!!

It might since its a similar year. If it doesn't you can probably switch the faces following the direction in the sticky post at the top. Any idea what color the lighting on the unit is?

I recently pulled one from a 1996 Lincoln that was in immaculate shape. It had all the same connectors and vacuum fittings on the back but when I hooked it up, the blower was stuck on. I'm pretty sure that the main circuit board is different from the one in the SHO's. You probably can swap faceplates between the two but unless you are skilled in soldering, do not attempt it.

Yes, a '94 Continental EATC will work, but it will have a small gap on one side because the face is about 1/4" more narrow that the Taurus one. You will also have to cut off one of the little locating posts so it will sit flush. Electricly they are the same.

Wouldnt it being more narrow help those who decide to relocate there EATC to where the stock CD player is?

Isn't your new EATC the same as pictured in this thread? If you're wondering how to make it work, PM drdave.

My current EATC is like the one on the left. No, the one I'm looking at getting isn't like the one on the right.

I'm almost positive that if your EATC is from a Lincoln, you'll need the Lincoln blower control module. I scored my solid button EATC from a 95 Taurus LX. Everything works perfect without changing anything out. However, the display is blue, which doesn't bother me since I have blue reverse indiglo gauges.
