Hi! If thats the case then the satellite radio and ipod port is faulty. There surely are loose wirings and blown capacitors inside that will need repacement. You can take it to an audio electrician for this will require an onhand trouble shooting expertise. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

This happens alot. You can call the Police and ask if someone can help you get into your car. The Police use a device called a "Slimjim" to enter your car.

If the Police won't come out, you can try a dealer with the Vin# and see if they can cut you an entrance key that does not have to be Electronic. This would cost $3 compared to $60.

Another way is a Locksmith. If you have Autoclub most cover this service. This is just a Labor cost as the Locksmiths have Master keys they don't give out.

I hope someone has given you a timely answer.

your owner manual has a fuse chart.

It is under warrantee,why would you work on it?

remove the sail panel, clips in. remove the three nuts and the power connecter.

this sounds like a lighting control module problem, but until thre dealer can confirm it u are stuck, we just won't fix what we can't confirm, sorry, we would not get paid for the work if we did replace parts that checked ok, suggest u let the dealer keep the car until it acts up for them or have the Ford factory field engineer come out, you can also call the customer complaint number in your owners manual and ask them for further help with this problem, the dealer is not the last word, Ford is.

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (IAT) is normally located at the engine air filter housing for old models but i think yours its incorporated with the mass air flow unit (assembly). Thats the sensor after the air filter

Hi
it sounds like a bad earth conection, check the battery leads and ensure the black earth wire has a good tight conatct to the battery and also a good tight connection to the car body, if the wire is loose then when driving will touch on and off hence the fault.

The earth lead also go's to your starter motor and another to the cars gearbox ensure all have a good metal conatct and are tight, not rusty etc also this can be a difficult fault to find at times the wires can corode where you cant see so be
thorough when checking the wires.

Hope this helps, its the most common thing on fords bad earth connections. may take you some time to locate but im pretty sure thats the cause.

If you need any more help please email me and I will get back to you.

Regards

Dan

Your question is a professional one so I will have to have more information to answer you other than:
The factory flywheel is not rated for more than 300 hp.
There are professionally built automatic transmissions costing thousands of dollars that are made to deal with this kind of horsepower. With your goal of 425 at the rear wheels you will need to beef up the entire drive train. This can include the transmission - flywheel - drive shaft and u joints - rearend - drive axles and lug bolts and even the wheels.

Please purchase items specifically for your horse power and -- use a transmission blanket - and a safety loop for the transmission.

Please take your vin# to the dealer and ask them for the factory specs - they will share them - however if you bought the car used - you are best to assume the items mentioned are less than perfect and perhaps needs to be replaced because there is no guarantee they are the factory items.

Also - remember to put larger brakes on the car - as the bullet you're building is going to need to stop too.

Best of it

You can certainly reduce the cost of the check up if you have the skills and knowledge to do some of the work yourself.

Basic jobs like checking and adjusting the fluid levels, tyres, and replacement of lube, filters and spark plugs are all relatively straightforward. Checking the brake discs (US=rotors) & pad wear/replacement is a bit more involved but easy if you know how and have the tools and experience. Many other things though including the service interval reset, emissions check/adjust and engine adjustments have to be done by a correctly equipped garage.

Consider this carefully though as you clearly aren't a qualified motor mechanic so DIY servicing will invalidate your warranty and very significantly reduce the resale value of your Mustang. You can shop around though to see if you can get a better price but $500 for a major 30k mile service on a car like yours seems pretty cheap already.

08? park in in the ford service driveway in front of the serve manager and leave it running. This is definately a warrentee issue. It sounds to be a sensor malfunction.which is part of emmidions which they should really deal with. Sorry.

it could be something with mass airflow sensor make sure whomever installed the supercharger replaced or reflashed that appropriately

You are probably still under warranty on your car. You can purchase a repair book for your car at most parts dealers like Pep Boys.

Ummm you don't,
the clutch has to have the transmision removed to replace, but you leave the HYDRAULIC part on
It doesn't even need djustment

by turn on, do you mean turn over? or just that all the electrical stuff comes on when you turn it to battery?

The oil drain plug is at the side of the oil pan towards the rear of the car. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted it you need help with the oil filter. 

Not totally disengaging, not properly installed, poorly aligned shift fork. What makes you feel its "burned out"? once taken apart the condtion of the clutch will indicate with wear patterns what truly happened. "riding" the clutch would also do so.

the flashing light means is a severe issue that could cause catalytic converter damage, probally a bad coil known for it in the 4.6l and 5.4l, need to scan computer and retreive code to ***
