This video is a huge help, thanks for taking the time to document and go through everything. I really couldn't find anything online or in the forums on how to remove the trim and i was not looking forward attempting to do mine as my roof is in similar shape. I'm still not looking forward to it, taking the trim off is a huge job and not having a garage to keep my car in makes everything that much harder but with this video im sure i can get it done now. Thanks again
I’m glad to hear it helped you. Yeah I feel you there, I didn’t have a garage until a couple months ago, and it’s just the one stall because it’s rented but it’s a huge blessing. I’ll hopefully get the other segments filmed within a month
Hey I watched your dash video, I took the cluster out and tried changing the cluster lights to led’s an that didn’t work so now the cluster doesn’t light up at all any idea why that would be happening?
@@Max.Simmons not exactly sure…I’ve heard that LED lights don’t work well on these older systems or at least not certain LED bulbs. Did they work before? If they did then I assume that’s your problem. You could also check online Cougars Unlimited. They sell a lot of bulbs and other electrical things that work on the thunderbirds (cougars and thunderbirds share some electrical components) I think they only sell through third party sellers, such as eBay but you could call Vince and ask him he’s very helpful. They make a LED taillight bulb for the thunderbird so they may have other offerings as well. Hope that helps
@@Max.Simmons sorry I missed this comment. Yeah I agree, check your fuse. The light blue wire controls all your dash lights. If you have a test light that helps. Fuse would be my first guess, then double check your light switch because I found out if it’s not mounted correctly the reostat spring won’t contact the tab inside the switch

Even with the og lights the cluster doesn’t light up still
@@Max.Simmons check the fuse in the glove box. should be a 6amp fuse.
