    Correct Year Parts Do Matter

    After having the "wrong" year upper brake light, I have the correct year that simply clips up to the window. I had to splice and direct wire it because the male connector on the LH side of the glass was missing. I had a light from a 2010-12 taurus. Mounts different, and the cover looks...

    Backup Camera Swap Out

    I took today to figure out why my backup camera was malfunctioning. To my surprise my original one (on the old decklid) works like a charm! After testing it out it works and the image is about 98% clear. Not horrible but I cleaned the clear part over the lense and it seemed to help. Another...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    I had some issues with my backup camera sometimes working sometimes not. So I swapped in my original one and volia! It works flawlessly. Next i tackled my trunk lid not closing when id have to slam it to get it to close. I adjusted the striker and it closes. Next was adjusting the entire decklid...

    Backup Camera Unavailable

    Replaced the camera with a different one. The whole trunk lid actually.

    Backup Camera Unavailable

    Recently after replacing the rear decklid that matched my cars color, I've gotten "backup camera unavailable contact your local Ford dealer" message on my dash at least 5-6 times but it's very random. Is it a loose connection somewhere or am I screwed and have to take it in? Otherwise car has...

    A Good Glass Adhesive?

    Where could I find some? Id be way better off using that to stick it up there. The light works great! I just wanna get it re mounted so it doesn't move or fall down again.

    A Good Glass Adhesive?

    Having already fixed my rear 3rd brake light last week, it has come off the glass on one side. It's fallen down on one side. I stuck it back up and 10 minutes later it came off. What solid all weather adhesive could i use to stick it back up to the glass? Apparently 3M adhesive tape doesnt last...

    No problem!

    The dreaded waterpump leak...

    The cost for the timing chains and water pump will run you about $3k IF that's done at a shop due to time & labor parts included of course. While youre down there have them inspect both front & rear turbos for any leaking or play. They're dependant on oil pressure and there's a screen that can...

    Fixed My CHMSL 2015 SHO

    After a long fight and learning about how to rewire up this stupid but legally required 3rd brake light, I have it mounted up and the trim cover on. I had to use some double sided 3M adhesive tape for the assembly to stay up there. I used a thin strip at the very bottom to hold it against the...

    No Power To Rear Glass For Brake Light

    I found the culprit. The electrical connection was unplugged but one side was broke off the glass. I had to run a direct wire to the light itself for it to work. Grounded it against the pillar beind the trim and tucked the wires away. Mounting the light became a hassle due to a design change...

    3rd Brake Light Issues Pt. 2

    In order for me to have it working properly, I had to bypass that previously stated male connector on glass and run it direct as well as grounding it to the body of the car and tie everything up behind the pillar trim. Lastly i had to remove the old "clips" that were in the way. I think Ford is...

    3rd Brake Light Issues Pt. 2

    Found the culprit. Unplugged wire but I dont have the male tab connector so I'll have to cut and splice wiring into the light for it to work. Ugh car electronics are funnn, not!

    No Power To Rear Glass For Brake Light

    Still can't figure why I don't have power to my 3rd brake light. Probed the connector on the glass and with someone having their foot on the brake my meter read 00.0 I checked #17 15A fuse under the dash (PITA to get to) and it's not blown. My reverse lights, regular tail lights & stop lights...

    3rd Brake Light Issues Pt. 2

    Will check that out even though I'll have to take out the rear shelf unit to get to the 3rd brake light capacitor. I couldn't imagine it going bad on a 10 yr old car with 123k.

    3rd Brake Light Issues Pt. 2

    After being able to get a 3rd brake light, I was able to get the connector on, but when it came to mounting it, same thing. Is there two clips I'm missing for it to sit against the rear glass? I also noted after plugging in the light i started my car and hit the brakes and nothing lit up. Is...

    Anyone Vinyl Wrapped Their Window Trim?

    A Small Photo Dump

    Thank you. Since buying it I put about 6k on it without any mechanical issues at all! Car has been amazing! Regular 3k oil changes and new brakes all the way around and it's never let me down! I drive pretty spirited some days but this car is a beast. But with that I want to change rear diff...
