Weird T-Bird Part Reply #45 – July 26, 2006, 07:56:59 PM The ATC panel came right from the '85 TC at the boneyard. Took that one out myself. The other is an NOS part from an auction. I have good luck at finding parts for these cars. Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #46 – July 26, 2006, 08:08:13 PM What you can do is some EVTM tracing to find out about that ATC panel. See how the pin out is for the ATC with A/C, and compair it to the one you have. The EEC harness has ungodly amount of wiring for the A/C system, so youll be able to tell a difference. Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #47 – July 26, 2006, 08:32:09 PM It seems like I saw that part (the door panel) somewhere not too long ago, and thought to myself "weird." But I don't remember where...As for the Ford microfische listing for use up through '89......would they have included those '89 model Fox Cougars/T-Birds for the Mexican market? Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #48 – July 26, 2006, 09:15:20 PM I found two cars with these at the u pull it yard about 1 1/2 years ago when I was going through looking for a new steering colum. I found one in a 83-86 tbird and cougar. They had about 50+ cats and birds. Quote Selected

I'd never gotten far enough under the dash to find out... Quote Selected

Weird T-Bird Part Reply #52 – July 27, 2006, 12:16:05 AM Quote from: EricCoolCatsBen, I think what you have is a late 1988 panel. I recall discussing this before...I also have one of those panels laying around. Tom, I believe, mentioned something about his '88's and that panel.Actially I believe most if not all '88s got that panel, The ones I've seen without the extra labeling were '87s.. Not being a fan of the auto temp, I avoid it like the plague...In the States A/C was std on the Fox Birds, but it was a option on Canadian units... At least that applies to the '85 up models, never paid much attention to the '83-'84s.. Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #53 – July 27, 2006, 12:17:22 AM I though A/C was standard in the USA:D Quote Selected

Weird T-Bird Part Reply #55 – July 27, 2006, 09:34:02 PM Cool. I found a stripper T-bird in the junkyard with nothing in front of the windshield. No cruise, no A/C, no rear defrost. Must have been canadian...but no defrost must be a royal pain. Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #56 – July 27, 2006, 10:18:00 PM If it had no defrost it wasn't Canadian (or didn't have its original rear window). Rear defrost was standard equipment here. So was a block heater, starting in a certain year (of which I forget) Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #57 – July 28, 2006, 12:39:21 AM Maybe mexican car, my car doesnt have rear defroster, but the dad´s 84 cougar had, i still have that rear window. And i dont have cruise control. I have the A/C (not working) but i´m sure it was an option... Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #58 – July 28, 2006, 12:48:39 AM There was an '83 Cougar at the park at CJ this year with no rear defrost. Neither in the window nor in the dash. It also was without A/C. That was one bare-ass heater panel. Quote Selected
Weird T-Bird Part Reply #59 – July 28, 2006, 12:55:18 AM Does anybody have pics of a rear window w/o the defrost stuff..?I'd like to see one.. Quote Selected
