Alansvt Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 First of all my car is my DD.....ok well I had to goto a meeting up in VA today and drove the car up there last night. Well today on the drive home it was raining decent. Well after the 3 hr drive I finally make it back to Fayetteville NC and all of a sudden I get all kinds of Bells and whistles from the gauge cluster. Check Traction control / Service Low Brake Fluid level Traction Control turned off and wouldn't not allow it to be back on.... Head straight to the dealership. Of course all the warning lights go away and then come back on then away again. So the dealership ran the computer and had 3 codes stored. Low Brake Level Low Voltage and Something bad circuit. I was told that the earlier body styles had problems with water getting in somewhere underneath the passenger dash. So he checks up there and BAM his finger hits water. Not much but enough. Well now the car goes back Monday to have them go threw it thoroughly. Hopefully its not that big of a project..... DAMN I NEED TO FIND A NEW DD NOW ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alansvt Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Also not sure what this has to do....But when I started the car this morning. I noticed the Car Click like 4-5 times some where in the dash....I also mentioned this to the dealership....But of course it didnt do it...... So far its done it about 3 times today...

You should get a rental on their dime for the time yours is in the shop. How is Ford going to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0201212 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hope they get it fixed. Mine is a dd and drive in the rain a lot no problems what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alansvt Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 It will get fixed. I have no doubt in that...Just thought I would pass this little info out. I know i have not heard of any other 10-11s with this issues. BTW My car just hit 10k miles ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby.GT500 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Any TSB's on this? If the dealer said it happens with the current body style, I have not seen any TSB. I would wait if there is none because who knows how they would fix it. What they will put a duct tape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hopefully they use the silver duct tape and not the black. Blends in better with the satin chrome interior. Seriously, good luck with the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 How is Ford going to correct this? I heard they have a high tech solution that took years of research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alansvt Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 We will find out soon enough. I trust my dealership.....At least so far they have not screwed me over and when I mentioned the fix for the 1-2 shift I printed out the parts lists from here and they were going to order the same parts.......When ever I was ready....

Torched10 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 well drove it today no codes thrown...But now everytime I start the car I hear about 5 clicks coming from the dash some where.....Any ideas? im not a gearhead,but i know in older cars a click meant the solenoid was trying to start,but the starter wouldnt go--but that noise would come from the engine,not the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alansvt Posted November 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yeah the car starts right up.....BUt once it starts up. I hear the clicking come from the dash for a few secs then it goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docspiffy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 13K on my DD with zero issues...knock on wood. I've never heard the clicking you're speaking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSD Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 This has been happening to S197 Mustangs since 2005 launched. Lazy workers not putting enough seam sealer around the cowl area, water gets in and leaks onto the smart junction box. Ford will *never* correct problems they have known about for years like this, groaning rear ends etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
