Top 10 2005 Ford Mustang Questions & Answers

the fan on-off temp can be adjusted via hand held programmer. The only time I have herd mine run is with the a/c on. when a/c is not on i put a lower set point in and the engine fan/s came on.
Stock set points are 196 and 210

I have the exact same problem with my 05 shaker 500--okay that's 3 of us. We need a recall and a free new stereo system with labor included

The solution is that you must purchase the complete shift housing because it is all one piece and you can't just replace part of it.The dealer told me this is about $250.00 U.S. and it can be replaced by an intermediate skilled tinkerer. For right now I just live with the inconvenience as I can pretty much guess what gear Im in.

this is the check engine light, it is on to alert you to the fact that a fault has occurred in the engine electronic controls or the emission system, there are over 200 such poss faults, any time the check eng light is on a fault code is stored in the computers memory, have the system tested for that code and post it back here, many autozones do this for free, ask for an OBD 2 code test.

If you can solder or know someone who can this is an easy fix. 1st the problem...The Mustang gauges are small DC motors, the motors are going bad. I just completed this on my wifes 2005 Mustang. Go to Ebay and do a search for Mustang stepper motors. They will run you about $8 each. do them all while the cluster is out.I used David Ruberg (www.speedometerrepairguy.com). Pull of the housing around the inst. cluster, take 4 screws out that hold the cluster in place. pop off the connector, take it into the house and solder in the motors. David includes instructions with the order. It took me about 2 hours total.

I hope help you with this (remember rated this help). Good luck.

The wrench light is NOT the check engine light! It is a failsafe warning light and usually when it comes on there is a problem with the "fly by wire" throttle. The wrench light will not be caused by leaving the gas cap loose. You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnecting. If this is no help you have no other choice but to take it in for service.

HI. The code and its respective definition will be located below:

P0108 --- Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit High

Here are a few possible causes for the high signal transfer of the circuit:

• Leaking EGR valve
• Vacuum leaks
• Dirty fuel injectors
• Wrong fuel pressure
• Low engine compression
• Ignition miss
• Carbon deposits on the intake valves
• Valve problems

Check the engine for the above faults. If all the points above check out Ok; Replace the MAP sensor.

Its always a good idea to double check codes especially with sensors, if its the heater circut replace o2 if its out of range reset and see if returns
