Cleaning up in the garage and came across the original sync 2 head unit from the mustang. Should I bother trying to sell this thing or just toss it with other electronic waste?
Put a new battery in the car as the never start that was in it when I got wasn’t cutting the mustard. Lasted longer than I expected though. I did the bms reset but also had to relearn all the tpms sensors which seemed odd since the radio retained all its info.
When I start my car in the morning, everything works fine. If I stop at the gas station to get snacks, when I start the car back up my passenger rear turn signal/brake light won’t work. The front will work just fine. If I shut the car off, get out and lock it then get back in and start it, it...
I upgraded from sync 2 to sync 3. I realized I needed a change when certain addresses weren’t available in the old navigation system. The sync 3 is so much better, wish I would have known about it sooner. The best part is I ordered the non navigation unit and they upgraded me to the...
I had a compustar system on my 2006 GT with a 5spd, worked the same way. If you didn’t follow the shut down sequence, the remote start wouldn’t work. I tried to trick it a couple times but it worked as it was supposed too.
A bit embarrassed it took me this long to try and fix but it’s been a long expensive and frustrating year. A few weeks ago I removed the passenger side interior to save some money on a PDR. When I reassembled the car I neglected to fully seat the electric plug on the retractor and it set off...
My car gets driven year round but I tend not to drive it in rain or snow. Sometimes it will sit for a week or two occasionally a month depending on the weather. I would like to put a tender on it but remembered the battery cover. Can I attach the clips to the positive post on the PDC and the...
My aftermarket GT badge on my rear deck lid was beginning to lift so I got a new smooth gloss black deck lid instead. I like the smooth look more than I thought I would.
I live in Idaho but got my car in Washington. It didn’t have the plate mount or holes drilled when I got it. I did order a plate bracket and even a sto n show bracket but never installed either one. About a year and a half later they changed the plate laws. If your vehicle doesn’t have a...
You will also need the steering wheel buttons. Trimming inside the dash is required as well, a bit messy but easy enough. Aside from the programming part it is mostly a bolt in swap.
I’m pretty fortunate at work, I park in a corner right next to the back door that’s technically not a spot. We used to have our delivery vehicles park there but they kept clipping the corner of the sidewalk and arguing about it so they were banned and I took it over. Since I get to work 4...
I know some places will let you send them in to get unlocked for a fee. Most people just sell them locked at a discount and let the new guy take care of it.
I just did mine last year, motor craft pump, coolant, t-stat, belts and some o-rings all for less than $500. I got lucky though, noticed my pump was starting to weep while I was changing belts so no towing involved. Fairly easy job as well, completely torn down in about an hour and twice...
Belts not twisted, guess I’ll try cleaning them this weekend. I cleaned the truck belts by pulling them out and putting a clamp on the retractor end and then letting the belt soak overnight in warm water and dawn dish soap. The next day I did some scrubbing with a brush and rinsed them a few...
