I have a 2003 B3000. I picked up a overhead console out of an explorer from a junk yard and wired it up, only to find it didnt work (the electronics are whacked). I bought a replacement off eBay that ended up being completely dead (nothing would turn on at all). I quadruple-checked my wiring with a multimeter. The right wires are getting the right amount of juice at the right time.

Anyways, I give up on it. I have this gaping hole in my headliner where I installed it, so I can't take it down. But I don't want it up there when the lights and temperature display don't work right. So...what can I fab that into? I was thinking of putting a back up camera monitor in there, but I think the cameras are too expensive. Please toss out any ideas you'd have for what I could mold into the display/light area. Its about 4" wide.

 

put a valentine 1 radar detector in there

 

Well, mine has little bits of food and mud from the pine barrens molded into it...

 

that would actually kinda be cool to have in there. i read about those a while ago (while waiting in a denist's office or something).. they sound good

 

yes...radar detector would be cool

or you could go to the upholstery shop and get them to fix the hole

 

Or try for another OHC. Don't give up

 

or a cb radio...
