    Ccrm Help Pls

    I took the same risk as I would going to the junkyard. The guy I bought it from parted out his GT that only had 44k on it. Car accident. When I told him why I was buying it, he said I probably didn't need the CCRM and that I should look into the PCM. Anyway, I paid $60 for it so it wasnt too...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    wmburns - Yeah I tested the fan, the wiring to the fan as well as wires to the CCRM. And the tests suggested it was the fan so I bought a new one. The CCRM I installed is the correct one. Its from a 2000 GT and matched up to my old one. I also disconnected the battery while replacing the CCRM...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    Ok , figured out there was a 5mm screw holding them together. After that I every thing was cake.....except for the CCRM I just bought didnt fix the problem. The fan still wont kick on and on top of that the car started idling really low and almost died several times. So I put my old CCRM back on...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    Ok, so I bought the part off CL and I unbolted the old one but Im having a hard time unplugging it from the harness. Keep in mind I dont have a jack or anything so I couldnt take my tire off. Instead I removed my BBK intake that goes into the fender and went in through there. Im able to use...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    Lol. Apparently not ones where people know what I'm talking about. I have the bad habit of just going in the store since its down the street instead of going on their website first. Im noticing that in-store Autozone and Oreilly's dont call it a Constant Control Relay Module which is why they...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    I just started looking at junkyards yesterday. I found one that has 13 96-98 mustangs but I need to call to see if they are GT's and still have the CCRMs. I also called 3 Ford dealers and couldnt believe that no one knew what the CCRM was! One person told me that they never heard of a CCRM and...

    Ccrm Help Pls

    Thanks for the info! I didn't know O'Reilly's carried it, when I went in store they said they didn't. Guess I should always check online first. I'll look into getting a better manual too. Right now I'm using the b&w Haynes manual.

    Ccrm Help Pls

    Last time I was on here, I was jobless and down to my last $100 and my 98 GT was overheating and I needed to pinpoint the issue so I could still feed my belly. Anyway, I’m working now (yay) and ready to try to fix this thing. Originally, the fan was only kicking on when the AC was on max, now...

    Overheated during inspection!

    The meter we used did not read direct current but I was not aware of it needing to be at least 5 amps. My dad has been in the works with electricity and transformers so he it all made sense to him. We did multiple readings--with A/C on & without A/C. I guess, I'll go buy a cheap voltmeter...

    Overheated during inspection!

    I don't have a voltmeter so my dad and I used his amp meter and got a reading from the high and low speed wires. They both read at .69-.70 amps so there is power going through them. Again, I let it run for a bit (without A/C) and once it got to the "R" in normal, I began seeing faint smoke from...

    Overheated during inspection!

    Ok, so is the process in the Haynes manual the best way to test this? And once I test it and determine it is the high speed that isn't working, how do I fix that?

    Overheated during inspection!

    For the past few weeks, the stang has been overheating. Come to find out it was a stuck thermostat so I replaced it and it was fine for about 2 weeks until it overheated again b/c the fan wasn't coming on. I replaced the plug and wires with parts from Ford and it worked. Then I drove it from my...

    Updates and Issues

    I think I recognize what the problem is. After going back through my steps and relooking at the Haynes manual, I realize that I put the o-ring on first and then the housing. And I used sealant and the Haynes manual says not to. Apparently the o-ring goes on top of the thermostat and not under...

    Updates and Issues

    So I changed the thermostat out today and boiled the new one to make sure it opened. It was only $15 at Auto Zone. Anyway, it was pretty easy draining the old fluid (it was still bright green-this is good) and taking out the old thermostat. When I put the new one in I used a felpro o ring that I...

    Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna work on it this Wednesday and hopefully that fixes it. She has a lil over 200k miles and I've fixed/replaced the clutch, spark plugs (cheap ones for now, better ones with wires coming soon), brakes and rotors, exhaust, radiator, alternator, battery, cold air...

    Updates and Issues

    Haven't posted in awhile. Basically, I've had my GT 3 years now and I'm just getting around to fixing some things on it. Everytime I look around I get surprised by something stupid the previous owner did. Anyway, my latest discovery led me to replace the intake with a BBK CAI. It breathes so...

    Might be getting a Ninja 500 soon, but...

    I think I post this here, if not let me know. This guy at my job has a Ninja 500 that his bank was supposed to repo nearly a year and a half ago. He's called them numerous times and they won't pick it up. As a matter of fact, they wrote it off. I believe this because I went through this...

    GM tries to pitch Camaro to gay men

    We all do stupid sh** when we're drunk. Well, I've said my piece so I'm done with this thread. However, I'm surprised no one said anything about my comment on the Challenger. Anyone agree or disagree....

    GM tries to pitch Camaro to gay men

    Some of the responses on here are very insulting. I joined this site to talk about cars, not fish sticks and ghey fish, and whatever ignorant remarks there are. As a lesbian, I get crap all the time from guys but little do they know, there are plenty of in-the-closet mechanics out there that...
