Ouch. You try to be nice to a guy and this is what you get. Your day is coming mister. Just wait. With Parnelli Jones as my witness, I will pass you by with such vengeance that your underbritches will be full of shart.

Not a bad ground. Not bad relay. All that stuff was checked, which is why the guys working on my 03 are confused why they won't work.

Positive (+) wire to one side of light bulb, Negative (-) to other side of light bulb. Positive (+) attached to 12 volt source, Negative (-) attached to ground............light bulb lights. If no lighting happens, either (+) or (-) is missing from the bar fight

If the relay feeding the fog lights has power in two places, and the lights don't run then you have either a failed relay or failed wiring harness out to the lights, or a bad ground for the relay. I'd wager on option #1, the relay. Just because it clicks does not mean it works but if it clicks, the ground and signal power to the relay are making it. Relay should have a positive hot all the time and a signal wire that turns on when the fog lights are turned on AND the high beams are off. There is alos the chance it has two positives hot all the time and uses a ground to signal the relay to close. I dunno if the GEM module operates the fog lights in your car, if so that adds more fun. If the GEM runs the fogs and is screwed up, I'd be looking to rewire the system to run the fogs all the time sans the high beam cut out.

On a side note, I sandblasted my 64.5's fuse box today, the tabs are all spiffy looking. Now I need to start testing it.

You might be able to switch the fog relay with another on the car to see if it helps.

Tell them to read that, should help the troubleshooting as you can bypass the fog light kill switch (with high beams on). The cut out drops the ground to the fog lights. If your relay stuck shut, the ground will be interrupted and not allow the fogs to work.

One of the guys hooked up a multi meter or whatever and tested the ends and everything had power. There was power going to the light bulbs. He also use a light tester and made the brand new bulbs light up, but for some reason the power wasn't getting to the light bulbs.

I'll go try that. Can't hurt!

We cut Pin #2 off. Did nothing.

They have a really good feeling its something to do within the multi-function switch. Especially after I told them how my wipers get stuck midway on my windshield. Which really sucked today because it's been raining ALL day. Not fun to drive with wipers in the middle of the windshield. If that switch controls turn signals, high beams, wipers... then maybe something inside is broken. My fog light switch is located on my console under the radio so I can turn them on/off. Maybe the MFS has something crossed and it's not letting the fog lights come on because it doesn't register that the high beams aren't on? Of course if that was the case, then cutting pin #2 should have solved that issue since cutting it allows fogs to stay on with high beams.

If it is the MFS, then its only $50 on Year One and takes about 30min to change.

There is power at the light bulb, in the front of the car? If so, the ground is the issue.

Kats66Pny · « **Reply #232 on:** January, 09, 2012, 06:38:58 PM »

You know the connector you plug the light bulb into in the front bumper.... each connector (passenger side and drivers side) was tested. There was power coming out of it.

AzPete · « **Reply #233 on:** January, 09, 2012, 06:46:46 PM »

If there is power at the bulb plug....provide a temp. ground to see if they work.

Washed and waxed both stangs today and the Honda hybrid. It was in the 60s and nice out. Also pulled out the cluster in my DD to check out a few problems. And finally after about a year of tweaking, I got the alignment correct on my hood.

Lemondrop · « **Reply #235 on:** January, 12, 2012, 03:51:08 PM »

Managed to take apart two 65/66 blower motors to scavenge parts from but destroyed parts from attempt #1. Got the brush plate out without killing it on attempt #2. Cleaned up my sandblasted blower motor from my 64.5 and painted it. When the paint dries I'll reassemble. The brushes are not great but being in Florida the A/C blower will be new but this heater motor....... who cares??????

You need the heater for those fogging morning drives!

So far we have fail. Can't get enough end play with the housing together. Think the end of the case was bent when I had to pound it apart. Needs maybe .060" of clearance to work. Going to try putting the motor on a press and pushing the shaft down and try and bow the end of the case out a little. If that does not work, I'll file a little off the end of the shaft. Currently when tight it is rubbing the end of the sheet metal housing. Works fine if I leave the case bolts loose.

Lemondrop · « **Reply #241 on:** January, 13, 2012, 06:58:17 PM »

Little shove with a press and the end play is back to good, motor assembled and waiting the falcon heater core to arrive. Fun making progress on the mustang, even if it is baby steps.

I can probably find you a 65/66 blower motor from a local Mustang salvage yard if you need one.

Well not what I have done today but what I have been doing for a few weeks now. Got the roller rockers installled (thanks cmayna) and fixed (I hope) a small oil leak coming from the front of the engine. I thought the oil leak was coming from the harmonic dampener seal but I happily found out that it was 2 water pump bolts that screw into the front/timing chain cover. Slowly putting it all back together before I move on to the next job.

Installed the wiper on the 66 (that was a pain in the butt) & cleaned the inside of my '03 GT

Oh and the guy who borrowed my GT wheels, brought over 2 of his wheels he had on his 68. Front and rear. Both 17s. Gonna see how they fit/look on Gertrude later tonight.

monkeystash · « **Reply #245 on:** January, 14, 2012, 03:12:38 PM »

Finally spent a few hours in the garage today. I put Damplifier on the roof, and started with it under the dash. I managed to get most the cowl area done. I also installed the Mustang Steve clutch cable firewall brace and did the necessary under dash cowl clearancing for the cable quadrant.

Mine is fine now. It's a 3 wire 64.5 version. I killed two 65/66 BM's to fix mine. Well, one of the 65/66's was slam full of water and the guts were toast anyway but it had to get schucked to figure that out. When I knocked mine open, I bent the end bearing housing about .080" inward which removed all the end play on the motor. Short tweak with the hydraulic press and the bend was back to factory.

My wiper install is coming up, as soon as I find the bag I stuck the

bolts in
