Exactly what happened (did the wires come out of the fitting or what?) and how did you fix it?

Well, I found my starting problem, and it may be unique. However, I suggest all GT owners check for this issue the next time they have the rear pan off. I installed a new battery and charged it overnight before using it, cleaned the ground, etc. Car still did not start, but the solenoid...

My 05 GT battery appears to be toast (solenoid just clicks when I try to start, and yes, I thoroughly cleaned the ground already), but it did last six years. Just checked with my local friendly and efficient Ford parts guy (he loves the GT) and learned that a new Optima lists at $449 (I would...

None of the choices above! My local Ford dealer will not touch the car, no one in their shop has ever worked on one. Generally, Ryan Pond comes to my home every year and we do the necessary maintenance together in my garage (I have a drive on lift). I have also done some specific items by myself...

I finally had the passenger air bag actuator replaced last Thursday. I have gotten probably several dozen notices of the recall over the past couple of years. Quite a few of them have a GT on them, but I don't think they were targeted by car color - I got the same "You complete me" notice with a...

Thanks for all the replies, they are helpful. I can't get to to the owner's manual right now, it's in the car and unreachable. I will look at it ASAP, though.

One of my grandsons is coming for a visit, and I want to take him for a fairly long drive (200 miles). I have the stock car seat anchor hardware. He is 10 yo, stands 4'6" and weighs 65 lbs. I am a little concerned that he may be a bit too small for safe seating. He's too big for a car seat (and...

I just did a search on the Forum for "Canadian cars" and there are lots of messages about what, if anything, needs to be done for imports, and several folks say that the DRL function can be turned on by any dealer. Lots of GTs sold from the US to Canada, according to the messages that show up in...

????????????????? Please explain. As far as I know, 05 and 06 are the same. David

I'm afraid I have a different opinion. It's boring - and the wheels look like they are from a Jada toy car.

Mine are warped, both sides, and have been for a while.

I thought Ford wanted these cars to be driven and used? By the owner's admission, this one will not be ....

Has anyone tried to get a new replacement Conti Kit (that's the orange and black compressor/fix a flat kit in the "trunk" on the right side)? They go out of date every 5-6 years (they are expiration date stamped). When I got my car six years ago I replaced the expired one by buying the identical...

I tried the short shifter and really did not like it. In my car, it just made shifting harder with no discernible (to me) advantage. I swapped it back to the original.

Not too many GTs in western Oregon and southwestern Washington, although I suspect there are many more that never leave their garage. I know of fewer than 10, and have only seen one actually on the road in the last six years. I've seen two of them at events (once each) but other than that, nada...

Why did you need new rear shocks and a new rear axle after only 11K miles?

Congratulations, Francis (and Christiane)! We hope you spend many happy times driving both of your GTs! David and Caroline

My Speedhut faceplate looks just like the original. It's semi-matte black, and not thick at all. - I just went out to the garage and compared the two and the difference is negligible. Perhaps they changed their finish since I got mine several years ago.

You can design your own Speedhuts and make them look pretty much as you wish. Take a look at the web site and then call Speedhut. Except for the bezels, they can be made to look almost exactly the same as stock.

Build book availability? I've tried before to get the build book for my car. The SVT page, as far as I can see, does not provide a way to even ask about it. Do you know a way to get it? Thanks!
