OK, I just left it last night and went to sleep. Wake up, go hook up battery cables and... It runs perfect, I dont know if I got a little elf in the garage but I am quite happy. I think I will leave some Keebler cookies out for him. Maybe he'll keep the gremlins away.

I did everything to create a good ground. All five grounds, frame to eng mt(driver side), two by battery, one by radiator and the one at passenger footwell were methidically cleaned , body surface to shiny metal and BOTH sides of the "eyelet" at end of wire and the base of the green bolt. Still...

Ok I added a much closer pic in my garage of the bad wire. Couldnt add here, said I used too much memory. I will fix it tomorrow as I feel I will probably have to remove the loom from the fender well to trace it all the way back to where I can get a perfect connection. This is also the body...

mustang fix pics 014

I havent had time yet today to do much but I did take some pics I hope will show up. In the first one you see on a concrete floor, the removed and now unused 99 GT main computer harness wiring that was behind the passenger footwell. You will see three shiny 11 year old bare ends of copper wires...

Although I do have a lift you can do the install on the ground if u need to. I personally wouldnt worry too much about the ebrake if you are not parking on hills, BUT I also do not know for sure about the regular rear brakes being affected by a lack of ebrake. It didnt appear to be an issue when...

Also the GT was an automatic w 168K miles, the transplant was a 03 Mach 1 5 speed with 34K miles.

I bought a totalled 03 Mach 1 which I did hear run perfectly before I purchased it. Got it home on the 8th and completely converted it by the 16th and took it to Ford for their brake bleeding machine. All computers, wiring, whole dash, total drivetrain, etc. The only thing remaining was the body...

I never answered the original ?? though. I think all wiring harnesses from the factory are gonna have a few connections that are not used on every vehicle. The manufacturer is going to somewhat standardize the wiring to accomidate various options and configurations. I had a few "loose" plugs...

Perhaps I would be better starting a new topic but my wife and I just completed a swap. We had a 99 4.6 2V GT Automatic w/168K miles. The engine started knocking and we were gonna do both the trans (used) and rebuild the engine for a little more power. I was looking on craigslist for some cheap...

Ok so I got a brand new computer since mine was toast. I still cannot upload a pic. Oh well, at least the car runs like hell;)

I should also say to all the women/wives/girlfriends that my wife was out there with me for virtually every minute helping me and learning a lot herself too. It is her car really. It is sometimes almost impossible to do things without a second person, such as threading the wiring through the...

I have tried to host pics but don't know how to load them up here into a post on my wifes comp. It keeps telling me upload has failed. My comp is fd up and is asking to reinstall the windows disc which I cannot find. Anyway, you can go to twistedstangs.com, look in the members gallery under the...

I just yesterday finished the conversion of my 99 automatic GT from the wrecked drivetrain of a 03 Mach 1 manual trans. You will have to cut out the front of the trans tunnel about 1.5" to let the shifter through the floor. There is also a riser installed (spot welded) from the factory to add...

Well there is some kind of difference. I replaced the entire wiring system, computers, engine, trans, rear, etc. The only electrics that stayed were the speakers, the passenger door wiring, and the fuel tank/pump. I took a video of my first attempt to start it. Ran rough and kept shutting off...

My traction control box out of the wrecked Mach 1 says Cobra on it, while the one out of my GT says it is for a GT. This is factory stickers on the boxes. Are you sure regular GT sensors will work being that the traction box in between the radiator/engine says cobra?

thank you. I am just going to take it easy anyway.. in the first mile.

Is there a difference between the GT and Mach 1 ABS sensors on the rear of the maustang. The traction control computer in between the radiator and the engine says it is a cobra but the sensors ( I broke them trying to get them out, but they are out) are about $60 for a GT and over $100 for the...

How about now? Anyone?
