EATC and Compass Fixed By You Know Who..........

[Ozark Marauder]

After living with the EATC defrost/floor malfunction for a while, and looking up to a blank screen when looking for a directional fix........I sent the EATC and the compass to FBM. While he had it, he upgraded the EATC with LEDs, and the upgrade is exactly that......an upgrade. The pictures I took don't do the LEDs justice, so just let me say, the LEDs DO make a noticeable difference. The compass is back to normal and all is good again.

Thanks Jim for the quick turnaround, and your expertise......

Anybody have some pictures? I just picked up a Marauder with 182,000 miles and it has all the classic problems. I need the compass repaired and the EATC is stuck on defrost and switched between High and low speed non stop haha. Just curious what the LED upgrade looks like compared to the original.

The EATC with the LED upgrade (which I can do for you) makes the buttons and the fan indicator much brighter.

I'll do the LED upgrade and the o-rings for one low price.

I am trying to replace the O rings for the EATC on the LSE.
The solenoids are welded to the chassis not screwed in.
I am lost on what to do ?
I did this repair once a long time ago on the Marauder,
Am I missing something obvious?

I've done a few of these. They are usually on F150's. Will send a PM on how I fix them.

Just got 2 EATCs and 2 Compasses back from FBM, Great job as always!

And I could use the instructions on the O-rings in the earlier EATCs too.

Unfortunately no. I tried on a few units but the FM tuner isn't very easy to access. You'd be better off sourcing an aftermarket or Ford Escape head unit.
