LOL, no, I do not plan on selling my GT. I love the car too much. I was just tired of dealing with lead batteries that have a tendency to sulfate when discharged and even when on a trickle charger, they have short lifespans. Even the sealed Optima I'm replacing corroded the negative terminal...

I was changing the battery and didn't want to lose my ECM mapped values so I hooked up an external power supply to the accessory port. Turns out the adapter I bought off ebay had the polarity reversed! That'll teach me. Once I replaced the fuse everything seemed to be OK. I spent the rest of...

OK. I found the diagrams and layout in the owner's manual. Just FYI, the fuse for the accessory socket is located in the Power Distribution box under the hood (trunk) and it is #22 named "Power Point". It is a 20A mini-fuse. Thanks!

Hello Guys, I think I blew the fuse in the accessory socket (cigarette lighter adapter) and need to know where to look to replace it. I believe there is a fuse box in the passenger foot well. I have the shop manual, but can't find a diagram or listing of the fuses there. Can someone point me...

Here is my GT being delivered on April 11, 2006. It was a brand new 2005 model with 20 miles on the odometer. It must be a an early build version because I have machined billet control arms on all 4 corners. Hard to believe I've owned it for 14 years.

The last response to this thread is nearly two years old. @nota4re, were you able to effect repair of the Tach and Speedo? If so, what are the details? My speedo is in need or repair. Thanks!

I contacted the event's organizers directly and was told to just show up and i would be accommodated ( as dr914 indicated). The weather and turn out were pretty good though my car was the only Ford GT present. The featured car was a Saleen S7 so the organizers elected to place my car near it in...

Guys, The July edition of Caffeine and Exotics is being held tomorrow at Lenox Square mall. I received an invitation for this month's event and registered a week ago but have yet to receive any slot information. Has anyone from the Atlanta area registered and received their information...

I don't know yet, but there probably will be. I'll keep an eye out for any announcements. Regards. Eric

Overall participation was very good for this edition of Caffeine and Exotics. Three GTs showed up (photos were taken before the third GT arrived). Eric

I may show up as well. I've also invited some other Atlanta area GT owners. Eric

Pete, Check your PM. Eric

Peter, Sorry for the delay in responding. I just saw your post. I'll PM you when I get back to the house tonight. Regards, Eric

Pete, Please see the photos below. I've circled the area with the damaged component (RED on the old unit, GREEN on the new unit). After inspection with a jeweler's loupe, it appears the part is a capacitor and not a resistor as the silkscreen showed 'C3' as the component designation. Also, as...

Pete, I was planning on keeping it and attempting repair myself (I'm an electrical engineer) but I have no particular sentimental attachment to the part so I'll seriously consider your proposition. I'll take photos of the part and post them here to give you a better idea of the damage. Eric

Hello Everyone, just thought i'd post an update about the repair. It took FOREVER to get the the Climate Control Module (CCM). It involved three dealers and Ford's national customer service involvement. The CCM was on back-order, and the dealer with my recall airbag parts was not able to...

@fjpikul I did not even think to consider used. Excellent idea. Thanks for the heads up! @twobjshelbys I just read your post. I'll check out the link you provided in the morning. I really appreciate your help. I'll update my progress after checking out these potential suppliers. Regards.

UPDATE and REQUEST: My GT has been recalled for both driver and passenger side airbag. My understanding is that for the passenger side, the lower dash panel will have to be removed. Therefore I've elected to let the dealer install the Climate Control Module (CCM) as the panel needs to be...

Just want to update everyone. 1. The action suggested by SFSDFGT was the best way to proceed. Although access to the Climate Control Module (CCM) under the dash is straight forward, it has a wiring harness that snakes through the center console and connects to the Climate Control Assembly (CCA...

Hello Fenzo, Thanks for the input. No insult taken. :thumbsup I do perform searches as you suggested and although it reduces bad 'hits' I still get results from some Mustang and other car forums where their members have a penchant for referring to their cars as 'Ford GT' (without the 'Mustang'...
