when the vehicle is operating normally, the "Powertrain Malfunction"/Wrench Light is one of the worst lights that can come on (besides "Low Oil Pressure" and both of those are minor compared to the dreaded "Stop Safely Now" message), because it means there is an engine, transmission, transfer...
only EcoBoost, Auto GT, and all Dark Horses have the transmission temp. Manual GT does not and also lacks an auxiliary trans fluid cooler. if you have FORScan, you may be able to add the transmission temp by changing 7D0-10-02's 3rd digit; see the attached sheet
engineering test mode can be entered by pressing and holding the "OK" button while starting the vehicle, and holding it until you see a little "ET" icon appear in the bottom-right corner of the dash
i have bad news and good news
the bad news:
that lower crossmember is a new part, PR3Z-5025-A, and there is only one of them
in fact, the whole front frame is a new part number (PR3Z-5C145-A GT/DH, PR3Z-5C145-B EB). the undertray is also completely new, not even sharing a base part number with...
a comprehensive list of all the fuses as of June 11th, 2025
some important notes:
1. there are no engine running switched fuses anywhere
2. all relays except the one to power the cooling fan are non-serviceable and built into one of the fuse boxes
BCMC/BJB (Body Control Module C/Battery...
finally installed my dash cam, Viofo 229A Pro. works great, but here's a tip for anyone who gets the Viofo hardwire kit: run constant power to fuse 31 (used for RTM, Audio Control Panel, GWM, IPC), and switched to fuse 2 (used for window controls and locks). they are both 10A (red) and the only...
the GTD has a wire mesh in the vents too
also, apparently Anderson Composites is making a GTD-style fender, so now im not 100% sure i will abandon the idea
that was an idea i had before i even got the car, not doing that now. it would've been like the GTD where there is a wire mesh preventing rocks flying out
nothing, it has no V8 so it does not fit in that category anymore. just like how the C8 isnt a muscle car because its mid-engine
DI only?? im sure nothing could possibly go wrong! what's carbon buildup anyways?
finally got my Mustang back, its been long enough that i have to get used to driving it again. also, installed my dash cam and its a pretty clean looking installation. this is probably the messiest visible part
not gonna count the couple feet of wire stuffed in the headliner in the back for the...
i swear, the EU has made some great choices (forcing Apple to use USB-C on their phones, putting multiple companies in their place), and some really bad ones (robbing nearly 60hp from the Dark Horse, really expensive fuel). im sorry to the car guys in the EU for what you have to deal with
closest thing is to go into
Settings > Driver Assistance > Rear View Camera Delay
this setting will keep the rear view camera on-screen until you shift to Park or go over 8kmh (~5mph)
thats really odd, the Mustang isnt one of the fords that disables the infotainment when in transport mode. the ones that do display a message like that in place of any interactive stuff on the screen
