I've been recently adding on some luxury items to the TC.
Auto-Down window relay.
just like the newer cars if i touch the down button for the drivers window it continues down with out me holding it, great for tolls and such.
i got it out of a mid 90's crown victoria and grand marquis. i have 4 of them in my collection of "neat parts". i tried the ones out of a taurus but the window sin our cars draw to much current and wouldn't go down all he way most of the time.

Auto-dimming mirror with compass.
been buying auto dimming mirrors at the local u-pull-its from various ford's for the past few months. ranging form crown vics, to explorers to Lincolns, but i finally found one i like, but its out a GMC Yukon. it cost me $15 at the Salem county swap meet, and works great. it has a self-calibrated compass and dims dark enough fr me (the last two form a 91 Lincoln and a 90 T bird weren't dark enough). but this is perfect, only if it had outside temp display.....

Cool, Brian.

Is the auto down relay a plug in? Where does it mount? Can it be put on both driver and passenger window?

How did you power the mirror unit, and is it completely self contained?

More data!

Looks like the mirror I have, but withut the compass. Electro chromatic, and it has the auto headlight dimmer built right in.
All hail Project "Marauder" !

Joe: the relays are small boxes with wires and connector

power, ground, down input, down output, and then up input.
you have to cut the wire for power down.

the mirror is ignition power only and ground of course.

spooler. what you mean headlight dimmer built in? light for the high beam off feature?????

ill get a small write up shortly, i have an outline set up, its just typing ti and spell checking it!
