Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to add the following options to my base 91 town car. You guys have been a great help for everything else. I love this car!!!
1. Passenger side power seat, with harness from door to seat.
2. Sentinal headlight switch with sensor
3. Digital dash.
4. Digital climat control.
5. Anything else you can think of. maybe keypad entry?

Thanks I need to know difficulty level and what to expect. I am very good with electronics and am sure I can make it work, but it is always best to ask the people who have been there. Brian

I've seen talk of all these conversions, and then some
on another board (http://www.lincolnsonline.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=3) .

Havn't paid much attention, 'cause my 96 has all that already.

Well for the seat you would need to get the bezels for the door and the switches. Not to mention that the brackets for the manual seats are different from the power seat. Overall it is easier to live with the manual seat IMHO.

This can be done, all you need to do is remove the dash, install the photocell sensor and new headlight switch. The Autolamp is self contained. A factory Service manual would be really helpful in these circumstances.

This is something I pondered with when I had my Executice TC. Overall the cost and diffuculty is to great. It is not plug and play as I thought. You would need to get a different dash facia as it is different to the Analog. Wiring changes would also need to be taken place as to work with the sensor from the engine (temp, Alt, etc).

You already have Automatic climate control. There is no difference between the two except that one displays the information with screen and the other with a decal. I prefer the the swtiches over the digital panel IMHO.

Keyless entry, Go to any Car alarm place and they can install a remote start or just a keyless entry system. The factory key pad would be difficult to add.

The one option that you can add that is very useful is a 1993-1994 Town Car, Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis is the cup holder ashtray. I added it to my POS 90 crown victoria and it was great. You can find it at any junkyard and the part will most likley be cheap and it is even better than my 95s.

Hope this helps.
