    Programming keys

    When I bought my 2012 it only had one key set. Dealer agreed to have another one made. When I went to the locksmith he programed the key fob, but it wouldn't hold the program. Locksmith said dealer had bought a refurbished fob and they seldom work. Called the dealer and they order a new Fob...

    Dash light showing car door open

    Today I noticed the dash light indicating either the door or trunk was open. I drive a convertible so got out checked the two doors by opening and closing and same with the trunk. The light never went out until turning the car off. Is that a fuse issue?

    Mustang Sally

    Thanks, FredB66. Definite proof we aren't in charge of anything. We just get on the train and go for the ride. I had a white 2008 GT convertible - C/S. Loved the car but the original owner went with a cheaper interior. In addition to everything about a Mustang I like a nice interior. The...

    Mustang Sally

    A few of you know from prior post my wife is in her fifth year of dementia. She has always been a dog lover and we had dogs in our family home for over fifty years. About a year ago she began asking that I get her a dog. Honestly, I just couldn't take anything more on and continually resisted...

    Mustang Rally Car Anyone

    I can't address the car but I can the cancer. My wife has had cancer twice and beat it both times. First time she was in her late 20's and then again around early 50's, she'll be 80 in four more days. I would think they have even better treatments today over what was available back then. Good...

    60 Year Anniversary

    April 17th was the anniversary of the Mustang by Ford. Our car club, Inland Empire Mustang Club travelled to City Beach in Sandpoint, ID for a picnic together. Don't know the overall count of our club, at least several hundred I would guess. But 17 mustangs made the run to City Beach from...

    Rattle, bang noises

    This turned out to be a simple fix. Either a previous owner, tire shop, or mechanic had failed to put the black plastic piece on the bolt. I Took it to town yesterday, towels and rags only, at that time. Not a peep out of the trunk. Mustangs that have the tire set up my 2012 has must be sure...

    Rattle, bang noises

    Culprit found. Problem was solved yesterday at the tire shop. I knew the spare was tight but took the car to the shop to have them take the spare out and see if the jack was loose. As they were doing that the manager said I think it's that triangle piece that holds the jack handle and funnel...

    WTB: OEM 2012-2014 (others?) Black Floor Mats with Side Pony

    My 2012 has the Mustang emblem, not what you're showing. Don't know if you could order either as an option. This emblem is even on the trunk mat.

    Rattle, bang noises

    Mother nature not working with me on finding the issue. I wanted to take the car for a drive with the top down and see if I heard the noise. Also, will try taking the tire and jack out and see if I still here the noise. But we just entered a 7-10 days of rain so I'm on hold.

    Rattle, bang noises

    Thanks guys. Rocknrod thanks for the drawing. When I hear the noise, I can just visualize that the jack is bouncing around between the flooring and the tire.

    Rattle, bang noises

    OK, I've checked in the convertible boot, nothing obvious there as to the banging sound. You guys that work on Mustangs; is it possible for the jack to come loose under the spare tire. The sound seems to come from the trunk, but the spare is rock solid. I tried to find a schematic drawing on...

    Rattle, bang noises

    One person on another site ask, are you sure the sound isn't coming from the interior? This is a convertible. Top works fine but raises the question could there be something in raising equipment coming loose. Actually, this is a really good question. Since it is a convertible, could something...

    I also had good luck with a locksmith shop. They hooked a computer to my car, used the key I had and then inserted the two new keys into the ignition. That programmed the new keys to the car. Good luck

    Rattle, bang noises

    Here are some photo's of the areas we looked at. It appears some of the parts are newer than the others. I've gone to the same mechanic for 24 years and have a lot of confidence in him. I've watched him restore cars and build racecars so I I'm confident he knows cars. He didn't find anything...

    Rattle, bang noises

    The end of last year My 2012 GT began making the noises as I went over bumps or down a rough road. Snow season began and I had to wait until today to have it looked at by a mechanic. He could not find anything loose or broken under the car. It actually, sounds as if the spare tire is bouncing...

    Clean your filthy stereo!

    I'm sure I need to do this on both cars and the CD player n the house. I'm trying to imagine how the disk cleaner cleans anything. The CD's are read by a light as I recall.

    Suspension seems to have no travel when hitting potholes or bumps

    I saw this entry and I'm experiencing the same problem on my 2012 Mustang GT. On the highway no problem but when I go down a bumpy country road it sounds as if the spare tire is bouncing around. I already, have an appointment to have it put up on a hoist and see if anything obvious shows. I'll...

    Conversion to GPS/Navigation/backup camera

    I sold my 2008 and bout a 2012 Mustang convertible GT. I'll include so photo's and while I like the system, the negative is trying to change temperature, etc. Knobs are far better that the touch screens as you're driving.
