[matt07gt]

Hopefully by the time the weather breaks your car is actually working again

 

[jared88]

Glad to hear you found a good Dealer to work on your car Gregg. Thanks for the update!

Glad to hear they're actually putting effort into it. Good luck with it!

 

[Quick281]

any word on the problem(s) ?

 

[Wicked One]

Update!!!!

There isn't one. I called them yesterday to see what the deal was. They have no idea what is wrong, they are talking with the ford engineers to see if they can help.

I will not start getting concerned until the weather breaks and i want to drop the top and go for a cruise.

I am going by there tomorrow to see the "progress". I will play nice.

The battery died, again, nothing new there.

I did a little lighting effects in my car this week.

Added led ambient lights, and removed the courtesy lamps and replaced them with led's, not led lamps, but through hole led's.

After all done, I fire up the car and I have a few problems.

Did you tell the dealer about this and did they try disconnectting everything and put stock courtesy lamps back in. I know LED's don't draw as much and mmost likely have a voltage drop.. So I wondering if the computer sees that as a problem. Since it maye not be getting the correct voltage/current back to the computer. I really wonder if this is causing your mess. I don't know what other problems you have had with your car. But did your problems start after you put the L.E.D.s in?

 

[Wicked One]

Everything is disconnected. No problems before nor after. Just happened after I let it sit.

Everything is fused and protected. I made sure the polarity was correct and all.

I thought of that also, so that is why I disconnected everything, but the same shit, even now with the new cluster. Maybe I might get a new car out of the deal if they can't fix it

 

[Monx]

I think they will end up offering you a focus for it

 

[Wicked One]

I think I will FOCUS my anger towards you.

[deekum1627]

wow sorry to hear man that really sucks. good luck hope they get it fixed for ya.

 

[Wicked One]

UPDATE!!!!!


Not much to report. Just got off the phone with them. They are trying to figure out why the high speed network isn't working.

They have a pcm out of another car that they are going to try. I will have word on monday.

I am still being very polite, because they are trying there best to figure it out.

 

[1990_LX]

At least they are trying...hope it works out Gregg!

 

[Wicked One]

So do I. Over a month without my ride.

 

[Wicked One]

I got my car back just now

Finally.

It turns out that there was a pcm issue that was hard to diagnose, but the guys over there at Scarsedale Ford got it all working.

Great guys, very helpful and took the time to do things right. I highly recommend them to anyone.

 

[jared88]

Glad to hear Gregg. Now go out and cruise for a bit since you are a couple weeks behind the rest of us.

 

[NYstang]

Congrats, Greg!


take a nice cruise up here tomorrow


PCM.....the bit behind the passenger kick panel?

 

[Wicked One]

Nope, that is the SJB. The PCM is under the hood, the main computer. On your car the Pcm is on the passenger side footwell.
