    Had a busy couple of days. The used alternator arrived and, awesomely, was immediately outputting 14.5v. After letting the car sit with the battery unplugged to clear the codes (didn't have my laptop with me) the engine is running exceptionally well. No CELs. Sadly, the air conditioning is only...

    I will try this when the 'new' one gets delivered. Expedited shipping paid for and they shipped it snail mail with USPS so who knows if it'll even arrive. I was going to order a cheaper alternator anyways because I way am I parting with so much money when I could just get a used one. Anyways...

    As for the A/C, yes I am aware the code is for the relay circuit. It has a confirmed working relay and the issue is a lack of system voltage overhead. In summary, redoing every single ground down to 0-3 ohms of resistance fixed my problems for a week. After that, every problem came back. From...

    It's an alternator from a 2010 car if the listing is correct. I'm tired of putting money into this car and I desperately need a reliable vehicle for work. I don't kind having a fix or repair daily as a secondary or fun car like the Focus back home, but while I'm away for work I expect my car to...

    I have a less than stellar budget. If the car can communicate with it and it doesn't go up in flames like the original one, it should be fine. If not, I'll only be out 60 bucks and the car can go to the crusher.

    I am returning this one to o Reilly's and I ordered a used one from a parts car that should be here in a couple days. We'll see what happens when that goes in. If I have to do too much more, it's getting scrapped.

    Update: I installed a new battery terminal. When I got back to the car today the battery was at 0.01v. Thankfully it's a new-ish battery, so I was able to get a new one under warranty at Walmart . That had enough charge to get me to oreillys where the worker and I smelled something before...

    If it's a simple test like that, I will hold off on scrapping for a little while longer then. I work away from home for about a week at a time. On the way back this week, I pulled into a Walmart and by the time I got back, the car was completely dead. When I got to the parking lot, it died and...

    So here's an update. I'm going to give up on this car. I really need to have a dependable vehicle while I'm away from home for the past couple months and one more for work. I got this mustang in a really good work deal and I would break even on it getting rid of it for a thousand bucks. I've...

    Hey there friend. I really appreciate your response, I've been working all day and only was now able to get to this. The battery negative terminal bolts were loose, So was my relocated ground. I tried tightening the ground and ended up detaching the capital nut on the underside of the fender...

    I got a 2010 V6 Premium Pony Pkg in December last year for $1000. Previous owner just didn't have a use for it and it was sitting. For 5 of the 8 months I've had it, I've had no a/c. For the past 3 or 4 months, it's been running poorly and will often die at idle only to start back up completely...
