[DeTomaso] Pantera Electronics- Jon Haas

Sat Jun 4 22:59:48 EDT 2022

I'm sure this won't take anybody by surprise but I can personally attest to Jon's tremendous support to our community.
He and his wife attended the three Spring Fling events hosted by the Great Lakes chapter several years ago giving demonstrations of his products.  He even offered some of his products for their dinner raffle (I won some LED bulbs).
One year on the last day when I was about to leave for my 4 hour drive back to Iowa, I got in my car to start it up and nothing happened when I turned the key.  Jon quickly jumped in to diagnose that my junction block under the steering wheel had melted.
He said he usually carries replacement blocks with his stuff he hauls around but unfortunately he didn't have any that day.  He then proceeded to do a field repair to get me going, which you know means working under the steering wheel on your back.
I wasn't delayed more than 20 minutes thanks to Jon.  I promptly ordered a replacement block from him when I got home.
Great guy.

  After a 4-year absence from Pantera ownership it only took 1 day before
  I broke something on the new cat. I decided to check the function of
  the hazard lights forgetting how fragile these switches are regardless
  of limited to no use. Sure, enough just like the Pantera before it, it
  popped out but would not stay locked back in. I reached out to my old
  friend and the wizard of all things electrical for Panteras, Jon Haas
  of Panter Electronics.
  For those of you older owners you are likely familiar with his numerous
  products engineered specifically for our cars. The hazard switch is not
  one of his designs, but a switch used on numerous 70s-80s Bimmers. Jon
  stocks them and includes unlike other sellers dummy proof instructions
  for both early and L models. I also ordered some of his outstanding LED
  bulbs for the gauges and speedo/tach. They make a tremendous difference
  in the lighting of these instruments where you can actually see/use
  them at night. And yes, he includes instructions although most of you
  would say well aduha who needs instructions? But there are some useful
  tips besides the obvious.

  What is most special about Jon is that unlike some Pantera venders who
  seem put out by inquiries of small dollar parts orders Jon treats you
  like you just bought his entire catalog of parts. In the past he has
  helped me with non-Pantera related electrical issues and also Pantera
  electrical parts not of his manufacture. He answers his phone and
  returns text and e-mails. Is this a big deal? It is to me when others
  treat customer service as optional. Jon is just a super nice guy and a
  pleasure to work with. I am so glad he continues to develop products
  for our now 50+ year old cars.

  So, if you have not checked out his website you should.
