    Trunk Latch Switch Question

    I was actually more curious if they changed to a different type of switch from the '05 to the '09 since it didn't come equipped with a factory light and plunger switch. I'm trying to figure out how the car knows if the trunk is adjar or not. I had thought that the plunger switch that turns the...

    Trunk Latch Switch Question

    My son just purchased a 2009 V-6, and the trunkajar warning light keeps displaying on the dashboard. This car does not have a factory trunk light, but the previous owner had purchased the cover assembly with the light. I installed it the other day and realized that while there is a factory...

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    I ended up taking my 'stang to a local mechanic. As mentioned above, the alternator is charging and everything "seems" to be working properly (according to them). I asked if they used an oscilloscope to check the PCM wire at the alternator to see if it was fluctuating like it should be doing...

    P0622 Code Troubles

    I'm having the same issues with my '05 5-speed. I'm on my third alternator. I've added a dedicated ground from the alternator to the shock tower, found a crimped wire on the three-wire connector on the alternator that goes to the PCM, and went ahead and replaced the connector, along with...

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    So, it is throwing the P0622 code again. The alternator still seems to be charging. I've replaced the connector to the PCM at the alternator as I did find a crimped wire. I ran a ground from the alternator to the body (strut tower) to ensure it was properly grounded. I'm at a loss now.

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    So I've been running the replacement alternator for about a month now. My son drove it the other week and when he got home, he stated the check engine light was on. I ran a diagnostic, and it is showing a P0622 code (Generator Field "F" Control Circuit Malfunction). I'm really hoping this is not...

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    I finally got a weekend off to put the replacement alternator in. I used the PA Performance fused cable and ran a ground from the alternator mounting bolt to the strut tower. I also replaced the PCM connector at the alternator. There was a pinch point in the wires, so I cut them and replaced the...

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    Ok, so here is an update: I replaced the alternator (and battery) not long after my original post back in August. I also replaced the alternator and noticed the cable was completely fried at the back of the alternator. I ordered the wiring harness bambam 06 suggested. I didn't realize that the...

    Tracking a Possible Electrical Short

    My '05 GT all of the sudden started dying on me the other week. The dash lights, radio, and electronics would flash off and on and then completely die and the battery would be completely dead, in fact, my battery was fried. I pulled the alternator to test it and found where the cable from the...

    Clunky Shifts '05 Stock 5 Speed Manual

    Apparently the clutch was replaced about 40k miles ago and the shop said everything looked good clutch-wise. The whine has dramatically decreased after the transmission fluid was changed. I am almost positive now that it is the gears in the transmission that are whining as it does it in all...

    Clunky Shifts '05 Stock 5 Speed Manual

    Got it back from the shop today. Spent more money than I really would have liked, but I had them do the stuff that I either didn't have the time to do or the proper equipment, and as they say, how much is your time worth!?! When I got it home, I had my teenage son start on changing the struts...

    Clunky Shifts '05 Stock 5 Speed Manual

    UPDATE: So, it turns out what I thought was gear whine was actually my idler arm pulley getting ready to go out on me! It was weird because I would have bet money on a throw out bearing, but it would make a little bit of sense that when I pushed the clutch in, it wouldn't be putting as much load...

    Clunky Shifts '05 Stock 5 Speed Manual

    A bit of an update here! This past weekend I was able to change the fluid in the transmission. I have no idea when the last time it was ever changed (if it ever was), but it was due for it! I just went with the good 'ol Mercon V, and it did make a difference in the smoothness. It is still a bit...

    mustang gt cop

    I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to add this photo of the Manor, TX Police Dept Traffic Enforcement Mustang. That had about two or three of these running around at one time.
