I just bought this cougar used. The dash part for the
speed o meter is fading , i can see the fuel part really good but the rest is faded. You can see alittle when the lights are on at night , but during the day nothing really.
what do I need to do?? Is it just a simple bulb or is it the whole dash ??? If I have to replace the dash where can I get one ?? I have heard that here in phoneix, az there is only 2 places that deal with the dashes that are digital and they run $800.00.
I only paid $900.00 for the car

im in a similar situation as you are with the dash, my speedometer lights up fine but everything else is dim
lol
So that part i couldnt help you with.


But as for replacing the digital dash, money wise, that part i can kinda help you with.
There should be an Oreilly Auto parts near where you are. I work at one and in my free time i kinda look around for random things for my car.
Have someone in there look on the everdrive website for a digital dash for you. I looked at one last friday and it was available from them for under 200 bucks i think it was like 154 and some change.
it takes like 5 days to get it, but its shipped right to your home.

But you need to have them check the Ever Drive website.

I was shocked at how cheap it was, even a transmission through them was extremely cheaper than going through our regular supplier.
