Top 20 2004 Ford Mustang Questions & Answers

Better to buy a Battery Charger than a new battery. If it is 6 years old, fair enough, but they are so easy to charge with a 6 amp or 10 amp charger. You need a key fob and you need all the spare keys pairing. Call a mobile auto electrician. His pro grade scan tool computer will diagnose any problems and code all the keys. If any of those keys are within 10 feet of the ignition lock, and incorrectly coded they are going to confuse the system. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

I don't think it can make from the trunk to the back floor.A better bet would be a leak with the weatherstripping at the back or bottom of the driver's door.

you need to check compression first,spark plug or replace ign.coil.

check the air filter

Hey Lg,, Have your battery/alternator checked at a battery/alternator shop... you may have a loose connection or one or the other is going bad..??

I have 2 thoughts. One odd thing I found several people found that there steering wheel was not locked(you could turn it side to side) they turned wheel till it locked in position and it solved the problem with anti thief and the car cranked. The other thing I had the same problem with my 06 cobalt. The magnet in the key was bad/weak. If you have a good less used key try it in the car. It worked for me and I went to dealer and had a factory original key made for my wife to use. She drove the car all the time. Her key gave the alarm and mine was fine. The new key for 06 was 35 dollars but the price depends on your car. My 13 Chrysler cost 200 dollars.

There are 2 on each Bank or side of the Exhaust system. One in front of the converter and one after the converter. The one in front of the converter does the heavy lifting of providing output to PCM to regulate the air to fuel ratio via trims to the injectors. Since you have a V6 with 2 bank, you have 4 O2 sensors.

bank 2 is on the drivers side of motor. sensor 1 is the first sensor you come to in the exhaust going from the exhaust manifold to the rear of the car.

Sometimes a weak battery will trigger the antitheft system.. disconnect the battery and make sure it is charged and then reconnect and see if it works.

since the radio is resetting, i would first check the battery terminals. the radio has to power inputs, so if its resetting then your losing both at the same time. one wire more or less comes directly from battery, its the memory wire to get a presets and times.

Hi, im a retired ford tech, with alot of experience on ford anti theft . Now if you are asking about a built in oem factory anti theft, your not going to be able to bypass it. Now to answer your question, I would say your factory anti theft IS NOT causing your issue. It will make it unable to start,it doesnt kill anything else.

Sounds like vent tube is not operating probably. When gas goes in air in tank needs to go out. When air can't escape its keeping gas pushing up and kicking pump off.

I thought the dealer had to reprogram the anti-theft processor. Be careful with this since it may cause your car not to start. Hope this helps.

It sounds like it has a bad battery. Most auto parts stores will test it for you in about one hour if you take it to them.

I suggest you check here: http://www.crutchfield.com They have nearly everything and great support.

Real talk

check master cylinder not releasing the brakes. the brake flex hose for each wheel may have collapsed internally. the way to find out is when the brakes don`t release loosen the bleeder screw on the brake caliper if brake fluid squirts out or runs out and the brakes release then the flex hose has collapsed. if the brakes don`t release and no fluid squirts out then the calipers are seized and need replacing. the shuddering is an indication the brake rotors are probably warped and need replacing.

Under the hood is a power distribution box, check to make sure you have power going to it. If not, run a new cable to it. If there is no power to it, NOTHING will work.

You will have to remove the shifter console if there is no access panel.

sticking disk brakes are caused by rust that forms on piston ,and brake drags and heats up making it tighter and tighter till finnaly no movement is allowed, till it cools off the awnser to this is to use a Non factory (aftermarket) caliper( bembo) with a non steel piston and cross drilled rotors or don't let your steel calipers rust by keeping car in heated/ dry garage !
