Blackers is correct.
On AU's it's behind the front reinforcement bar, near the horn. In BA's it in the mirror. This has been confirmed by bayfords spare parts. Got a trick idea for the wiring of it though ![]() Cheers

A lock smith who can reprogram our keys may be able to do it but chances if he could do it, he wouldn't know how.
Mine will be going to ford on a tilt or trailer. Been quoted $80-$150 to do it, with a guarantee they can do it. Currently looking into the BEM. Don't know. May just go try it now. Cheers

What series AU we talking here?
I have an AU2 ute and have done the complete conversion, swapped with a T2 TE50 dash and heater, using my stock ute BEM now everything works except the outside temp wont read anything else but 19 degrees c, any ideas? If you do the complete dash conversion make sure you use the fairmont cluster otherwise your stock/xr cluster, the DTE wont work on the cluster lcd panel as it works with the command center in the high series dashes. |

Well 6 weeks of little sleep, lots of worrying, and a few hundred dollars in extra cost but the conversion is done.
It was an utter pain in the neck to do because as it turns out series 1 stuff will bolt and plug in but won't work in a series 1.5. The series 1 is missing 1 wire from the ecu to the bcm and the cluster, and missing about 1 foot of wire that connects it to the ecu, the cluster and the mdc. That and the bcm's are different. Pics will come soon in my build thread. Cheers

Hope you have managed to sort it all out. Sounds like one hell of a headache. I think the message here is that if you swap anything like this make sure it is out of a car that matches perfectly as there were many changes in ecu and bcm through the years the au's were built. Looking foward to seeing some photos so i know just what i'm up for later this year.

All the gauges worked, climate control came on but I didn't try to use it.
Headlights came on but no cluster illumination. Turning the delay on turned the headlights off. Wipers worked but no washer pump. Apart from that it all worked how it should of. Looking at a document here of the pin assignments for the bem, auto antenna won't work either. Cheers

You need Fairmont dash (complete with wiring loom) plus heater box.
The complete dash means everything but paticularly the headlight switch, instrument panel, climate control unit, centre dash panel switches as these parts are not directly interchangeable. If your car is a Forte you also need the high series (pink) BEM. |

The only things you won't need ...
Cig lighter Boot and fuel door release Glove box Stereo HU Passenger air bag and cover These are the only parts for the Fairmont dash that can be taken from the Forte dash. |

Ok, I've recently acquired an AU 1 Fairmont 6cyl complete car.
I already have a AU 1 XLS V8 ute. Can I do a dash conversion reasonably easily? as I have a complete car, I assume I've got all the required parts, but will I have to take it to ford etc to get keys programmed or can I just use the Fairmont keys? |

You need to confirm what the Fairmont is.
If it is an AU1, then no If it is an AU1.5, then Yes All series 1 utes are AU1.5
