EATC Illumination

[fastblackmerc]

Working on an upgrade / repair of the lights for the EATC buttons.

Will replace the incandescent bulbs with LEDs.

I have test unit that I will be installing tomorrow.

I now have replacement LEDs for the EATC unit. You will still need to send your EATC as there is some work involved.

It worked great! See post #33 for a picture.

This will not change the color of the EATC illumination... just make it brighter and longer lasting.

The cost is $55.00 which includes new o-rings.

I'm very interested!

Will be doing the final assembly / burn in tonight. Installation tomorrow with before and after pics.

All of the illumination on my buttons went out the other year ago, the screen works fine.

This will fix the button illumination.

I haven't seen the LCD panel burn out........ yet.

Is this a fix where we have to send in the EATC to you or something you ship out and we can replace ourselves?

Will have to send it to me. Need to rework the power to the bulbs and install LEDs. Alot of soldering involved.

Is it possible to change the color once youve successfully completed this one?

Count me in Jim.

Got one that just lost a bulb, so I'm interested too!

Must be nice lol, all of mine went at the same time. :mad2:

I have a unit that could use this fix.

Changing the colors is tough to do since Ford uses white lights that shine through a green filter / coating. Removing that filter / coating isn't cost effective and rarely works right. If it was an easy fix I'd be more than happy to do it.

Well pictures didn't come out.

Here is what I will offer.

If you just need the lights replaced with LEDs the cost will be $55.00 including shipping.

I will replace the o-rings for FREE!

Jim,
What kind of turn around do you have with doing both the LEDs and the o-ring replacement? Looking at being down in Knightsdale area the weekend of August 24th.
