I'll check for power at those circuits tomorrow. I did check the fuses but not for key on power. Expect a PM regarding manuals and wiring diagrams

Thanks. Yes, the OD display is all "--------". I verified that the fuse for the PCM is good but it is too cold in the garage (3 degrees today) to do too much else. Do you have a recommended trace route to determine if the PCM is getting power? The temps tomorrow might reach the 20's, a more...

I ran the on-board instrument cluster diagnostics and got the diagnostic code dtcd262 which I interprest as "Missing SCP Message" which translates to "missing standard corporate protocol message". Is this indicating that the cluster module is sending a message out but not getting one back from...

Seems like a lot of owners have PATS problems. I'll update as I progress in the diagnosis and hopefully cure. I have until spring when I'll want to hear those ponies again! Just hate the thought of the stang on the hook to the dealer!

http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/dtcodes.htm Site that gives the cluster self-diagnostic information for 1999 and 2000

Last time I tried this the theft light flashed fast for five minutes when I gave up. It does not want to slow down, give a flash code, or go out. Just keeps flashing fast. I found a post on another site that references a self diagnostic cluster mode that is built into the clusters of the 1999...

Tried the other key- no go. I read every PATS post on the forum and know it's PATS issue and tried to narrow it down as much as possible. When it warms up in the garage (currently -7) I'll drop the panels under the steering column to check the transceiver wiring. I think that's that's the last...

Nothing changed. Car is totally stock, nothing aftermarket, 75,000 miles. Stored for winter since November. Three weeks ago streets were clear and no salt so I wanted to take it out. Crank but no ignition or fuel- fast flashing theft light. Tried other key and all the "tricks" to reset the...

I have a PATS issue with my 1999 GT (flashing theft light, no start) and would like to try to diagnose the problem using the code intrepretations in the service manual. Which code reader will allow me to access the PATS codes?

Thanks for the quick reply. The battery was fully charged and cranked the engine normally when I first tried to start it. I have had it on trickle. After priming the pump with direct power, when I reconnected the harness and turned on the ignition I got the wierd reaction and battery drain...

The roads were clear and salt free last week so I decided to wake up my 1999 GT for a ride. The fuel pump would not prime so I applied power directly to it through the rear connecter (as I have done for the past few start-ups after long periods of storage). The pump ran and I got pressure at...

Thanks. I always have AAA and will have everything ready for an eventual pump R&R.

To make sure that the pump was the problem, I put power to it directly from the fully charged battery. The first quick touch to power produced a bit of a "groan". I gave it another quick touch and got what sounded like a half normal rpm spin. The third touch produced a normal spin and I left...

Thanks. I located all connections and have the car jacked up and ready to drop the tank. I'll apply power directly to the pump just to make sure that is the problem. The fuse, relay, and emergency shut-off switch all check out OK and there is power to the harness that feeds the pump. This...

New to forum. The fuel pump on my 1999 GT died during winter storage. The tank is full. The anti-siphon prevents draining in the traditional way. Can the tank be drained through the air vent or another way? I am reluctant to drop it when full given the need to maneuver it around the exhaust...
