    Tripminder - anyone put one in an '89?

    I picked up a tripminder at a J/Y to put into my '88 TurboCoupe and then I got another to see if I could put it into my '89LX 'stang. Has anyone put one of these into their mustang before? I'm not sure yet 'how' it will fit or 'where' to install it but I'm curious about the wiring and signals.
