    cougar digi speedo help!!!! (UPDATED)

    ok, i snagged a digi speedo from an 84-85 cougar, got the buttons for it as well, only thing is i cut the ribbon cable to get it out, still have like 6 inches of it, rest of the dash was smashed, looking on coolcats i see wire colors---for the wire plugs--but i dont have the plugs, just the speedo itself and the buttons that go with it, anyone know which ribbon cable wires are which?, the speedo looks like this:

    Hmm, no idea, maybe check tccoa or something?

    I never considered one of those dashes. Hmm, it might just work in a Towncar and get the tach too! that would be the shit. Let us know how you make out with this, I'd be very interested in the tach/fuel guage setup to swap into my car.

        hell yeah - also I bet that style message center would be easier to hard wire into a box, since stuff is so well documented for it.

                    o.k. this is all you need to make the speedo work. starting at position #1 (far left as the picture shows) is the acc power. position #2 is battery power.position#3 is ground.position #4is blank. position#5 is speed in. position#6 is tone enable. then you will need to add the buttons to your car for english/metric.
