    Need help with brakes

    location of master cylinder bleeder valve. I am working on this exact project on my '04 six cylinder stang. I've been having a really hard time bleeding the brake lines in general. Started with the passenger rear, my assistant pumped it for maybe 10 minutes and best I could get out of it was...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    No problem pulling up the carpet. Take out the lower back seat (there are two buttons on the underside of the edge of the seat that you have to push in to do this, kinda difficult) and the seat will pop right up. Next, snap off the plastic door jamb, which is that piece of plastic that runs...

    Mystery Speaker Popping/04 Vert

    I have this old 04 Vert, with the upgraded but OE stereo (cd changer) and there is an issue with strange sounds coming out of the rear drivers side speakers.... It only happens when it rains... or has been raining. Yeah, I have had some leakage issues on that side....after it dries out for a...

    05 Vert Hydraulic Fluid Refill

    Ford Mustang Convertible Top I believe this here link was the most helpful. I googled "mustang convertible hydraulic" and there are several places in there where there were discussions.... I think somewhere in this forum there was a thread on this issue as well, earlier than my search...

    Using an unused fuse location for gauges

    I had a 94 before, and that is exactly what I did.... The power seat and also the cig lighter in the console did not have power. It was eventually traced to the classic mustang problem in the ignition switch. I chose not to spend the 500 clams to get it taken apart..... So, I ran a hot...

    05 Vert Hydraulic Fluid Refill

    Follow-Up: After looking at a couple of other forums, I came to the conclusion that the black rubber plug at the end of the cylinder was indeed the fill hole.... Filled that baby up with some Wally mart brand transmission fluid.... and the top ran up and down prodigiously... So, I am...

    05 Vert Hydraulic Fluid Refill

    My 05 Vert top had been working fine but over the last few weeks of nice weather this thing has gotten slower and slower to raise... It goes down great, so I just figure it needs a little hydraulic fluid. the pump motor says "use dextron II" which I can pretty easily do... so the...

    2005 Convertible rear window coming off

    Hey convertible owners: I have an 05 convert with the top separating from the rear window along the bottom of the window, and I went to the auto parts store and bought some 3M brand molding adhesive tape, it comes in little rolls about 3/8 inches wide... it's actually some kind of...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Update: It did rain about a half inch on Tuesday and the hole system appears to have worked. What I did do was put a cup under the hole to confirm that water was coming out of that hole, and in the time it rained, a couple of inches or so accumulated in the cup, so that system is...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Here's the seam between the top and the car body. Any water that hits the back half of the car is going to run down that seam and into the fender just in front of the rear wheel well on either side. For whatever reason, the passenger side is not leaking (yet).... This is the area under...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Hi Pudman Thanks for the pic. I take it we are looking at the rear interior under the window regulator with the back seat and interior panel removed.... If that is the case, I do not have an oval hole like that, or any other hole. I do have a little access to the window regulator after the...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Update: I parked this thing outside last night, knowing that it would rain.... I hung a paper towel under the door seal with tape, to confirm that the water was not coming in through the upper seal. Result: no leakage all night despite about an inch of rain. Got into this guy this...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Update: It rained today, I parked the car so the front side would be downhill....more cold water on the floor..... :mad: the good news is: I more or less know what is going on now, at least I think. There might be a hole under the regulator, but I cannot get my hand down inside of the...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Update: I had a chance to work on this guy this afternoon. Removed the back seat, took off the interior quarter panel, took off the stereo speakers, took off the black plastic moisture seal panel to expose the regulator for the rear window.... I poured a bucket of water, maybe a gallon...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    Update: It started to rain a bit earlier and I went out and sat in the vehicle for awhile. The rear window does not appear to be leaking...no visible drips in the top.... The car was parked on a sloping driveway, with the nose upward. I went in, and in about a half hour after a...

    Convertible Leak? Water on Floor

    It's been rainy down here, and there seems to have been an accumulation of water on the floor behind the drivers seat in my nice 2004 Stanger. There does not seem to be any direct drippage down from the top, so I suspect either a drain plugged up somehow, or even worse, a leak someplace that is...

    Driver's Seat Removal Problem

    I had exactly the same problem with my 94. It turns out that the motors were fine, but when the ignition switch gets old, power no longer goes to that motor. I removed the switch from the front of the seat, and ran a hot wire directly from the positive battery terminal to the black and white...

    Seat and Electrical Problems

    Update: I went out and removed the seat switch by taking out the two philips screws that held it in. The intent was to use my tester to see if I could jump through the switch and get those motors to move. I ran a wire from the positive battery terminal to the back of the switch. It did...

    Seat and Electrical Problems

    I have this old 94 Stanger and like many on the forum, the driver front seat motors have been dead for ages.....It has not been a problem up until now, because it is a manual transmission, and the only 2 in my family that can work a clutch without crashing into something solid are the same...
