Puddle light

[SSC]

Have read here post #20. It seems they just pop out and take 10 seconds to replace, looks like a quick fix but very common water related problem.

They have made it so it's easily accessible so no harm in having a look. Maybe something obvious you can sort yourself. I'm sure someone must have had a look by now

Can you post the link again please (without asterix)?

That'll be great if its a simple DIY job. Going to the dealers is not ideal for a number of reasons.

Unless it's just a 'bad batch' we have on our cars, it's looking like we'll need new lamps after every winter then?

Found the actual ford parts catalogue with diagrams. Left hand drive but part should be the same.

Or you can find the puddle lamp here : http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-ford/dr3z13b375b

Or this one : http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-ford/dr3z13b374b

Seems they have 2 different models, dr3z13b375b or dr3z13b374b

Need to find the good one...

Video of a ford puddle lamp swapout, not a mustang but looking at the locking tab on the mustang module, it should be a similar removal/install )

I saw that a lot of parts for our 'Stangs begin with FR3Z...

This part as the good begining : http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-ford/fr3z13b375b

 

[Notes]

Took a photo of mine this morning, i cant see how the template can get damaged...as far as i can see its covered by a clear plastic clip, so the cutout thing must be inside the mirror and somewhat protected.

Looks like it can just be unclipped assumingly to replace the bulb or whatever js used to project the image

I would be shocked if the whole door mirror assembly needs to be taken apart. Hoping i can get the part selivered so i can do it myself!

I don't think I will replace them if I need to do disassemble the mirror and door panel to acces the mirror... anyway, it still puzzles me why the images get's screwed up after 6 months...

I just heard from my dealer, they now have the part (ordered about 6 weeks ago).

Fortunately I will be travelling near the dealership this Friday so I am intending to arrange to have it sorted then.

Will let you all know how it goes. I will make sure I ask many questions! It's clearly a common problem...

Please take some picture's from the disassembly and install so we know what to do when our warranty runs out and we need to DIY ;-)
Meanwhile I'm still waiting on a confirmation that Ford accepted my warranty claim...

btw 6 weeks is again long time to receive a replacement part... I wonder what will happen when we trash a bumper at some point...

Good luck!

Well it's happened in Australia now, someone said there's has started to break up.....and yet again it's above the horses back, i'm wondering if the buld/light is stronger in this area.
