    Cruise Control Question

    I have a 94 Mark VIII, recently replaced rack and pinion, this weekend noticed neith the horn works (with pressing steering wheel air bag) nor does the cruised control work. Speedometer works fine. Horn work with key FOB. Thoughts Driller? clock spring?

    rack and pinion options

    replaced the unit this weekend, not the most fun I've ever had, but so far it looks like it's resolved the clunk that's been bugging me

    rack and pinion options

    considering this will cause premature failure of the other newish front end components, I guess this is worth replacing sooner rather than later

    rack and pinion options

    I'm not fully convinced the rack is bad, this is with both wheels off the ground, steering wheel locked (rack unpressurized), and a helper pushing and pulling the rim at 3 and 9 o clock. no play in either side tie rod ends, the rag joint appears stable. I don't know if this much play at the...

    rack and pinion options

    94 Mark VIII, 98,300 miles, car is from SE Virginia, now central NC for 1 year. Looks like I have some excess play in my rack, about 3/4" in/out when shaking the front rim at 3 and 9 o clock with front end of the ground and steering wheel locked. The steering wheel moves in unison with the rack...

    Blower not working, not bad harness

    98 LSC A few days ago the blower stopped working completely. With car running and heat on 90 I started by jiggling the harness from the relay to the motor, but got nothing. I checked voltage on the two blades coming off the relay and got nothing. I checked power in the plastic connector to the...

    Air ride compressor, module or sensor going out?

    I put in a known good air ride module (from my 98), that solved the problem...also raised it about 1/2"...now I need to find a good module to put in my 98

    Airbag codes 35, 51

    The wire colors are the same on my car, With pass bag disconnected resistance across the pins of the bag connector is 0.2 ohms; with key at run, resistance at the female connector from module is infinite... ------ Shorted module? There are just those two wires at the bag connector, and they are...

    Airbag codes 35, 51

    right, I'll pull out the replacement module (also from a 94 Mark VIII), and put the original back in. I found this on a Mustang forum in a thread about a 2001 GT with code 35. I wonder if my circuits are the same color wires? When I check resistance, will it be with module connected, passenger...

    Airbag codes 35, 51

    1994 Mark VIII, 92k with my original module, I was flashing airbag error code 35 " Passenger side AirBag circuit Low resistance or shorted." ----- put in a different airbag module from a '94 mark VIII (not wrecked but not known to be good) and I immediately got code 51 -Air bag diagnostic...

    Air ride compressor, module or sensor going out?

    that's a good idea and an easy place to start, I have at least one spare I can swap in...or i could swap my abs and air ride to confirm that both are good. As far as bench testing/ hard wiring the compressor...to power it, there's BK and R...to vent there's BL and GR...match colors to turn it...

    Air ride compressor, module or sensor going out?

    Earlier today I got in my 94 and the compressor didn't come on (unusual) I drove about 3 miles and while on the highway got the ''check air ride message'' and cleared it. I got off the highway at my exit about another mile down the road, drove about another mile to the grocery store and noticed...

    98 IM removal

    tried a different pcm today, with the xcal it yielded similar or identical asymetric imrc position values ---- is there anyone with a gen 2 that uses SCT LiveLink data capture that's willing to monitor their imrc's as a comparison? - - - Updated - - - tried a different pcm today, with the xcal...

    98 IM removal

    good idea, thx I could probably borrow my old xc2 from Chris Bratten, or there's a guy at the gym who has a tuned Mustang GT, he probably has an xcal handheld...I don't think the scanner they have at my local parts store would yield useful info, since I have no DTCs --- I'm 100% certain both...

    98 IM removal

    got everything put back together, imrc plates cleaned and working, I can watch both banks open/close normally. The ecu is still telling me that bank 2 is only partially closed and partially open under and over 3200 rpms....is this more likely a bad actuator/controller? or a bad ECU? ---- In the...
