why would you want to remove the trip computer, they are much better than the clock and the black plastic

oh u want 1, well if u want all the wires and connections, to know what they are for, follow this.
http://www.fordmods.com/forums/documents.php?doc=46 u will have to become a member, but it will tell u which color wire is for what, so just cut the wires off the back of the trip computer, after the connection, and then make ur own connections to the relevant things. you should need about 2 inch of wires behind the trip computer, then the rest is just connecting them to the relevant connections, instead of untangling 2 or 3 meters of wire for each connection

oh and the unit itself, to remove, just use a small flathead screwdriver and lever it out, but be careful of the search buttons, because they may break. and the cost for 1 is around $40

yep. thats right. because with the tutorial, it will say like, brown wire to battery for example. so with the 3 inch of brown wire u have connected to the trip computer, just run some wire from the brown wire, to the battery. and maybe the red wire goes to the eec-IV modual, so just connect wire from the red wire, to the eec module
