#21 of 119 98' Ford Mustang(automatic) by writchoice Oct 31, 2006 (10:23 am)
I have a 98' ford mustang automatic.The gauges on my dash are not working. This includes the speedometer, odometer, battery, oil,,etc. When I start the car the only lights that come on are the battery light and the theft light. I had my fuses checked pep boys and they checked fine. He tested them with the car on of course. Then I asked a friend of mine who is a mechanic and he said it could be the instrument panel fuse and it needs to be replaced. I lost my owner's manual so I'm not sure exactly what it looks like or where it is located. Can someone give me an idea. Also if it is not a fuse can anyone give me any ideas as to what else the problem could be.

#23 of 119 Courtesy Lights by marineway1 Nov 04, 2006 (2:31 pm)
Anybody have an idea why the map lights on the rear view mirror (05 convertible) would suddenly stay on? I assume there's a sensor or switch somewhere that signals the map lites that the door are both closed and to turn off in a few seconds' but suddenly they just stay on(key out, pushbuttons checked off). Had to pull the bulbs to keep the battery from running down until I can solve the problem. Help?

Next to the headlight switch is the dash dimmer. If this is turned all the way up, the courtesy lights come on.   Also, the car has a battery saver that prevents the lights from discharging the battery, you can put the bulbs back.   Mark
#25 of 119 98 Mustang Electical Malfunction by playa_pimp6918 Dec 06, 2006 (1:28 pm)
Yea u can say my muctang is a little bit weird with a problem no one has ever been able to solve. I have a 98 Ford MUstang 3.8 litre. What it does is hard to explain. ok, u get in and drive around town like a normal day around the city. After a while the engine will loose power at a certain rpm, 1st i will start at 4,000, then 3,000, 2,000, and eventually the engine will die. When it does, u just turn it off and turn the car back on, and it goes away for a couple of minutes. it doesnt really loose power, it has power up to that certain rpm, then it has none. but after a while it will shut off. We have tried everything to fix this problem, changing out the o2 sensors, changing out this sensor, that sensor. if its cold out, it will not do it as much, but if its hot, it will act up really fast. if u put in 87 gas, it will act up more faster than 93 octane. The A.C. on will make it act up real fast 2. Ive put it on several computers, it said the Egr valve, we change that, it didnt help, then it said the key was bad, we changed that, it didnt help, then it said the o2 sensor was bad, we changed that, it said many other differnt things also, but nobody seems to figure out what is wrong with it. If you know how to fix it, let me know please. email me at playa_pimp_6918yahoo.com Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Dec 07, 2006 9:00 am) playa_pimp6918 (Dec 12, 2006 2:02 pm)

Replying to: playa_pimp6918 (Dec 06, 2006 1:28 pm) Vacuum leak? PCV valve gone bad? Air filter? Fuel filter? Spark plugs/wires/distributor? Injectors? Cylinder compression leak? Replies to this message: playa_pimp6918 (Dec 12, 2006 2:02 pm)

Replying to: tayl0rd (Dec 07, 2006 9:00 am) it cant be the pcv valve because i always change it during a tune up, it cant be the air filter because i have changed that several times, ive changed the fuel filter several times, i have done several tune ups and i dont have a distributer, maybe a vacuum leak or the injector wiring, i dont think its the cylinder compression because it doesnt do it every day, so i guess i ruled out every thing you said, you got any more hints i can check into? i really want to solve this problem.
