Dec 5, 2016 - Dec 5, 2016 - These Mustang fuse diagram are for a 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 Ford Mustang under the hood in the engine bay, .
..
So I can use my 2001 Mustang 4.6 L that changed the ignition out and then I changed the computer out now that's flashing or it won't let it start and it starts to die
The crankshaft sensor went bad. I Was'nt getting any fire from the coil pack. Tried switching coils and still nothing, tried switching ignition modual, nothing. I checked to make sure it was in time and it was. Nothing left to check so I changed the crank sensor and it firerd right up! Thanks.
In general the best and safest method is to use the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft pulleys. If no work has been done on the engine a simple way is to listen to the engine as it is running. An engine that is out of time when at idle and being revved will run unevenly, have rough acceleration and possibly a lack of power. If it is really far out of timing it will make lots of nasty noises as the valves hit the pistons.
If your setting up the engine after major work, like a timing belt change or a head gasket replacement, You MUST use the timing marks on the crank and camshaft pulleys to avoid doing serious damage.
Better to buy a Battery Charger than a new battery. If it is 6 years old, fair enough, but they are so easy to charge with a 6 amp or 10 amp charger.
You need a key fob and you need all the spare keys pairing. Call a mobile auto electrician. His pro grade scan tool computer will diagnose any problems and code all the keys. If any of those keys are within 10 feet of the ignition lock, and incorrectly coded they are going to confuse the system.

SIMPLE QUESTION AND ANSWER ON ALL CARS
LEARN THE SKILL OF USING AN AMMETER.
BEST IS REAL DC, AMP CLAMP METER
FIRST FIND THE FUSES WITH PHANTOM DRAINS ABOVE 0.050 AMPS 50ma IS MAX KEY OFF DRAIN.
THE ON THAT FUSED FEED WE USE THE AMP CLAMP TO FIND WHAT DEVICES IS FAILING
JUST 1 TOOL ($50) AND 1 SKILL AND SUPER EASY TO USE.(THE CLAMP)
700mA drain is crazy too high and easy to find that bad. my guess to is car was hacked. with things like
rotten REMOTE start kits.
alien ALARM kits
bogus Audio systems install dead wrong.
trailer hitch kits wrong
had 23 years to capture up hacks gone wrong.
or collision damage not repaired or floods,
this post is to you and anyone with phantom drains.
ask how, , can do.
ever see this lamp work correctly , or bought car like this ? (history matters and hacks too)
read the SM here.

self test cluster brake lamp is dead.(went off)
first i must learn if brake lamp is ABS lamp.
as I can not see the dead actual lamp here blind.
yes one is labeled ABS and one is labeled BRAKE
the users guide states
"Also quote
illuminates if the parking brake is engaged. If brake
warning lamp does not illuminate at these times,
seek service immediately. Illumination after releasing
the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and
the brake system should be inspected immediately.
so why would self test fail??
well check all FUSES FIRST? skip none,
the only confusion with clusters is evolution! 3 generations if it.
new cars the cluster is all electronic,and all actions are from the CPU in the cluster and the CAN-BUS network data to it.
so we use OBD2 scan tool at the OBD2 port.
BUT ? then older cars for sure 2000 year.
are 1/2 and digital and 1/2 wired analog devices.
for sure error lamps (warn) to oil sender or to hand brake or to the brake fluid low switch.
the lamps on the rear twist out. why not just swap 2 lamps side to side, to prove it good or buy new lamp.
some lamps (gee 23 years) old can be for sure intermittent. (micro cracks in the tungsten element happens easy for sure car bouncing,(for 100 years)
or some one put in WRONG LED LAMPS here.
or lamp in socket was twisted and bulb wrecked.
or windshield crack allowed water to hit cluster
and socks there, are rusty (corrosion) seen this vast times or PCB board in side again micro-cracks in solder joints. for same reasons, vibration driving.
looking at your cluster for sale (googled)
this cluster is 1/2 digital and analog
2 huge connectors and lots of wires. 8 pin and 16pin?
i will find a schematic later for this cluster.
to see what is there.
the link above will take you (paid) to the SM
and chapter on electrics + cluster,= BINGO
good lock finding cause.
use a new lamp or do swaps side to side from lamps working now. is best.
look at lamp socket for corrosion.
Question edited for clarity.
Out Fixya Pro Technician has the answer to this question from back in July! It must have had spam on it and has been removed.

Hook up a scan tool (a professional grade scan tool ) and check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in all the modules (computers) on the vehicle . One or more will probably have a code stored to tell you what might be wrong.
..
Does the engine crank ? If so do you smell gas ? If you smell gas you have a spark problem. If you do not have any fuel coming up then check the fuel filter and fuel pump. Let me know.
