So.... I bought a beater '99 Mercury Mountaineer. My plan was to use the engine/ECU/transmission in my '73 F-100 and the 31 spline 3.73 Track-Loc rear end in my '93 Ranger. Of course, right after I bought it I discovered the ECU gets the VSS signal from the ABS computer which gets it from the sensor in the rear differential. Unless someone knows a way to get that thing into a 9" rear end I guess I will just fix the Mountaineer up enough to beat around in, since I won't get my money back for it.
My first issue is that the "threaded pegs" that the headlight switch mounts to are both broken. I managed to get the dash apart enough to get the switch out, but I cannot figure out how to get the whole panel out to replace it. It is loose on the left side but It appears to be under the radio bezel on the right side. I don't see any screws to remove the radio bezel; I tried pulling on it but it feels very tight like there are screws holding it. Does anyone know if it is supposed to just pull off or are there screws hidden somewhere?
