There's a little module under the dash, along with it's connector. I'll see if I can get you a pic or two-

Coincidentally, I have a picture, and my dash is off. Imagine that.

In the below picture, if you look immediately to the left of the shifter, towards the gas pedal, you'll see a thing hanging down. That is the headlight, door chime, and seat belt chime/buzzer. While it is one unit plugged in a socket, its actually two buzzers in one shell.

Glad you're humored and you're welcome for the pictures. But I took it out for other reasons, it was just coincidence about the timing.








And here is the main screen as the linux PC boots up (Yes, in the above picture I was playing with XP Pro, but dumped it almost immediately). The monitor is a 13" LCD touchscreen providing 1024x768 resolution, which is fantastic for on-the-fly map viewing

Large buttons, left to right:

Top row: Radio, CD/DVD player, MP3 playing
Second row: Climate Control, Body Control, Engine Monitoring
Third row: Blank, blank, blank.



Now you may be amused

DAYMMMN!! Frederic that's an insane setup! I've been browsing your website, and I gotta say I love the way you attack your projects. Excellant job of "Frankensteining" your ride!

Thanks for allowing us to be amused.

I have the cad design for the new emblems, which will go on last of course.
"Frankenford F350"

thanks for the feedback on the site, its been a fun project thus far.

The sad thing is I've not finished the dash yet, and have been driving around with it missing.

ok I got under the dash and found the conmector but NO buzzer I guess the original owner removed it. I called some local parts houses not expecting them to have it ( they didn't) so I called three local dealers one was clueless and the other two didn't have it . One place told me they needed a part # but I dont even have the original part !!! Any tips?

junkyards,,, also crown vics, vans, marquis have the same buzzer in the similar year range, so there shouldn't be any shortage of buzzers.

You're welcome for the info, not a problem at all.

And thanks everyone for the positive feedback. To avoid being annoying, I generally only post some pictures here, randomly, etc. If you want to follow the project...

While you've seen some dash and electronics stuff, more has occurred. Homemade "superbumper", a fabricated dual-throttle body adaptor, which eventually will be fed by two turbos, which in turn should make the 500ish cid stroker I'm building that much more fun

And yes, I know this is a truck, not a race car!
