    Door open switch doesn't work on driver side

    Well I don't have an electronic copy, but if you have the manual for your car or can find one online, it says right in there what each fuse is for and has a map of which ones are empty. I have a 2001 GT convertible model.

After reading up on the forms I decided to go with the common solution of using the "add-a-circuit." For those that don't know, one end looks like a common fuse and...

    Door open switch doesn't work on driver side

    Hello everybody. I have an '01 GT convertible. When I first bought the car I had some magnaflow catbacks installed, everything else stock. It is still pretty quiet...it has a pretty nice sound between 2k and 2.5k RPM, but at idle it is not much different than stock. When I go cruising around...

    Immobilizer Bypass Module

    The reason I had this system put in is because 1 week after I had my brand new stang on the road it was broken into and vandalized....stole both airbags right in a lit parking lot at work...and lets just say this company is a major global corporation. You are right though, I can't believe that...
