1982 Mercury Marquis

87gtvic got me thinking bout all my switches so i thought id share..

top left is for my strobe lights control box(pictured bellow the switches)
top right is the bumper mounted HID fog lights
middle left is my PA speaker system (the mic is below next to the strobe box)
middle right is is my interior LED lights.. under the dash and in the vents
bottom 2 are for the underbody lights

silver switch in he middle was used as a kill switch for the prev owners like 3 different horns he had on. ive removed all them and wired up that switch as a killswitch for the stereo. its run direct to the battery so now i can play it at all times whether the keys are in the car or not with just a pull of the switch


this is where the tach was relocated from the steering column


before and after drivers viewpoint. the tach worked out wonderfully and you can see it perfect through the wheel

I see you have the same LED flash module I have! The little box with A B C buttons... Mines in my scooter though, not one of the cars lol.

[marquis_82_withneons]

yep! the little 5 dollar ebay wonder from rice land... hahaha... works nicely too

[marquis_82_withneons]

hmm... I like this schematic. I think my 88 needs a dual filament bulb on the inside now.

[marquis_82_withneons]

so simple too.. for 20 bucks i can make this.. i ahve the parts already the relays will be here next week

Sequential lights are awesome. Only seen them on old cougar's and mustangs but it'd be sweet on a merc

[marquis_82_withneons]

ima give it a shot... for those who know im sure... my generation of Merc taillights have the 3 sections.. the 2 outer being 1157 bulbs and the inner 1 being 194 bulb.. im gonna dremel out the 194 hole to be the same pattern as the 1157 base bulb socket so i have all 3 as turn signals.. and then wiring up the sequentials

[marquis_82_withneons]

no luck with the sequentials yet. but i got my power antenna in.. gotta wire it up, but its in and works. took the day to wash her all up and FINALLY clean up my rims. the winter was pretty rough on them and rust specs were developing. got it just in time i think before they got pitted. so they look alot better. took her for a cruise around town and get a few looks and 2 compliments at the local gas station. definitely made my day. on the way home i stopped at a friends place that has a very photogenic spot on his driveway..

she looks gorgeous!

man that is one bad-ass merc...

[marquis_82_withneons]

thanks man!.. you guys have no idea what the comments mean to me it makes me feel so proud.

i really like how the tinted corners set off the black paint. adn you can just see my blue calipers behind the 15x8s which reflects off the chrome if you get the right light.

she sounds much meaner than she is.. haha. those side exit exhaust sound monsterous when i punch it and 35 sounds like 80 hahaha

[95_Grand]

Hey neons never saw a pic of your merc.. That thing is beautiful!

[marquis_82_withneons]

thanks grand!.. if youve never seen it, then welcome to her story shes come along way. but is still quite far from beautiful sadly. shes got a bit of cancer starting all around in small areas. and paint is faded bad.

hopefully getting that all taken care of this year thanks for the added support

[Grand Marquis GT]

Big congrats on the POTM win! I knew you could do it

[BuffaloRider]

Congratulations on POTM! I love seeing a box at the top of the page. Hope you can get all of her problems taken care of.
