    Replacing Headlight, Fog, Dimmer Switches

    Friday June 9 Update, see below. I imagine many of us have seen the lights fail on one or more of our five toggle switches. I've lost my headlight, fog and dimmer lights. No switch lights when I drive at night. I finally decided to replace them. For anyone looking to make this repair I...

    Fuel Filter Safety Clip Removal

    No. Per the manual, procedure to bleed off fuel pressure is to pull fuse 13 in the fuse box by the battery. Then fire up and let idle until engine stops. Cycle ignition again for 5 seconds to bleed any more pressure. Note: I had not ran the GT in two weeks so initially it just turned over...

    Fuel Filter Safety Clip Removal

    Sorry Art. Finished and buttoned up. The clamp, in its current position, gets pushed down toward the end of the hard fuel line, over the part that is slightly larger circumference, about 1/2 inch. That clears the fangs from the end of the fuel line. Then it pops right off. If you find...

    Fuel Filter Safety Clip Removal

    Thanks Kendall and Ryan. Found out you just push down on the safety clip first in order to clear the fangs then pop off the clip.

    Fuel Filter Safety Clip Removal

    Thanks but I have the tool to release the fuel lines from the filter. I should have been more clear. I'm referring to the safety clips that come off first. They release easily on the one end away from the filter, but the end that has the fangs that reach up under the housing near the filter...

    Fuel Filter Safety Clip Removal

    I'm trying to remove the two safety clips in order to remove and replace the fuel filter. How do you got the little buggers to release from under the fuel line coupling? I cannot see how to do it unless I bend the little "fangs"? Thanks.

    Re-Use or Replace Electrical Connector?

    I like your idea r71, but I wanted to get this done today and did not add that feature. Thanks for your advice fellas, especially Fenzo. Once again I have a high mount stop lamp in working order! Next up, change out the fuel filter.

    Emengency, Please help with coolant reservoir question

    There is supposed to be space in the tanks when cool. The inner tank is coolant for your engine, the outside tank is for your supercharger. Look on the inside of the tanks, toward the center of the car, and you will see two small windows, about the size of a quarter. That is proper level for...

    Re-Use or Replace Electrical Connector?

    I'm still trying to figure out how do I extract the original wires and terminals from the connector housing itself without damaging it. As the second photo shows, the wires first enter the connector into a red plastic part before the terminal. A Ford tech most likely has access to another...

    Re-Use or Replace Electrical Connector?

    Sorry I was not more clear, but as Spec says the two-wire loom that comes with the new light fixture ends with bare wires. I think the best way go about this is to do as suggested, solder and heat shrink it, then run it through the loom. Since the loom, between lamp and connector, runs...

    Re-Use or Replace Electrical Connector?

    Thanks Jeff and Fenzo, The new brake wires have no connector or terminals. Only wire endings. I picked it up today. I'll have to better scrutinize the connector to see if there are release points of some type.

    Re-Use or Replace Electrical Connector?

    Hi guys. I need to replace my high placed stop light and the new one comes with wiring but not a new female electrical connector. Is there a way to reuse this one or do I need to try to replace it? Thanks!
