I'm looking to buy a tripminder and harness for my 1989 Grand Marquis. I've been watching eBay but have seen nothing so far. Judging from prior posts it looks like this is a fairly straightforward plug-in. Is this correct? If not, what will I need to do to make it work?

Tripminder and Harness for 89 Grand Marquis

As long as you have the harness it is a direct plug in. The 89 tripminder has a one year only harness. Which IIRC is only two plugs and is different from 83-88 which use a 4 plug harness, and is a royal PITA to install. As far as finding one someone on here may have a 89 specific harness if not you'll have to do some j/y searching. I believe the tripminders are the same and only the harness is different but im not 100% sure.

The tripminders are the same. Harness is slightly different. With the 89, there's a plug in the shape of a rectangle. I think it's located up under the dash pad. It's kinda hard to get to, but besides that plug, you just plug it into your existing clock harness. Then you should have a working tripminder.

I'm not really sure since I haven't had the dash apart. All I can say is my car is an '89 (made late in '88, I think). I'm willing to risk it at the price you offered and, if it isn't right, just pass it on to the next guy.sigpic1989 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
