Guest Guests Posted 09/01/07 03:19 AM Share Posted 09/01/07 03:19 AM Most of the looms are in the $350 - $550 range ea, except for the dash loom, which I think was about $800 new. Considering the amount of wiring and plugs involved, I didn't consider the cost unreasonableGood luck with your project.My car is at Ford to get all the programmes loaded, so in the next day or so I hope to be driving it again ←Those the retail price's, id so not really that bad.

Guest Guests Posted 16/01/07 12:17 AM Share Posted 16/01/07 12:17 AM Did you originally replace it or did they give you the wrong one to put in, bet you can't wait to jump back into it now .I'm waiting on a call back about that box and I'll let you know the outcome.
