Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Dash Replacement Blues .. 4 days in shop

Well, here it is Monday afternoon, dash not done yet.

Service has Saturday hours at my dealer. So they have had the car Thur, Fri, Sat. and Today.

I have removed motors, rebuilt them, reinstalled them in less time.

Oh, I am getting nervous just thinking about it!

Get the Dealer Call..Car is done at 6:00 pm.

Go get car...OD light stays on, Trim on windshield column loose. Drive into service bay, show Svc. Mgr Brian.

Brian claims they didn't touch center console or trans. I say may be loose connection. He checks further, no dash lights, no turn signals, no horn.

Checks fuses, dash light fuse shot, replaces it. Still no lights. Replace 20Amp Horn fuse...Blows immediately. Gets rental car keys, tosses to me, says talk to you tomorrow.

PLUS...Dash is kit, looks like, well, let's just say Lance would not approve of the language.

So, simple 8 hour repair is now major electrical problem.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

My God man, I'm sorry your going through this, it really is pitifull! I hope the person responsable for Ford not replacing these dash's soon gets a layoff slip or better yet FIRED and never allowed to earn a living again!!! They are doing unnkown harm to Ford's rep. and really stressing out hard working honest people who may NEVER buy there products again. This is sad!
