    Could someone run a CarFax please?

    Hi, a friend of mine is looking to buy a 97 GT Convertible, wanted to see if someone could be so kind to run a CarFax for her. I am going to look at the car right now. Please don't buy a CarFax for it, but this is for anyone who may have an account at the time. Any and all help is appreciated...

    Faint POP...No Brakes, Power Steering

I continued to back out of the spot, noticing that my steering was getting more and more difficult. Once backed out of the parking spot, I saw...

    Radiator Fan from a 2004 GT in a 1998 GT?

    It's been a while...but the time has come where I've found my short and it was in my radiator fan! So I ask this, will a 99-04 radiator fan work in my 98 GT? I've searched, found nothing in the forums relating to this. Also, is the radiator compatible as well? Most of the fans I find come...

    STRANGE Speedometer Issue

    Ever since my car was broken into (March 2008), my speedometer has not worked correctly. I have a DM SpeedCal installed, so when they ripped out the center console, they took the power for the SpeedCal with them. I tried giving it dedicated power, that did not work. So finally, when I got...

    How To Test a Window Motor?

    I just ordered a window motor and I want to test it before I install it. It has a red wire and a yellow wire. Do I just provide 12v to one, and ground to the other? This would be my assumption because the motor has to rotate 2 different directions. Any suggestions?

    Tach Freaking Out...

    Ever since I put my new center console in, my tachometer has been tripping out. If it's in gear, it's fine. If I'm stopped, it's fine. But when I'm rolling and it's not in gear, it jumps to ~1200rpm then drops to 1000rpm, and does this continuously. I think it has something to do with my...

    Does anyone have a write up on how to change the window glass on the driver side of a 1998 Mustang GT Convertible. I heard that the door panel is tricky to get off, so I'd rather have some instructions. Thanks!

    So my car has been overheating lately, and I haven't really driven it in 3 weeks (about the time it started overheating), so I finally decided to take it to a mechanic. I was told last night that the diagnosis would be $45. He's now saying $95. Their labor rate is $95/hour. He said that...
