    Starting problem

    You can use Motorcraft XG-12 Electrical Grease to protect the connection from oxygen and corrosion. That is what we use in our electrical connectors for grease. Do not use XG-3A Di-Electric Silicone grease. It is for high voltage ignition circuits only. Gerry

    Cooling system capacity

    When adding water/antifreeze mix to the cooling system, always use distilled water. Regular tap or well water has been casuing havoc in diesel engine cooling systems. Ford is now going to selll only a premixed antifreeze with distilled water. gerry

    Flashing CEL

    Usually a flashing CEL is a warning that you have unburned fuel going into the catalytic converter and it will soon overheat and destroy itself. It is usually a coil failure and sometimes the coil shorting out, takes out the coil driver in the PCM. This is one of the very few reasons to change...

    Replacing Turn Signal Lamp in Left (Driver Side) Front Headlight Assembly

    I would recommend using Ford Motorcraft XG 12 Electrical Grease to prevent corrosion. Motorcraft XG 3A, Silicone Brake Caliper and Dielectric grease is often mistaken for use in electrical connectors. It is actually only used in high voltage applications like spark plug boots and distributor...

    Headlamp reseal TSB for Lincoln LS

    Here's a TSB that was used to reseal leaking headlamps on LS. Might help with GT. Also, most headlamp manufacturers use vents that let moisture out but not back in. Gerry

    Headlights

    I would remove the headlamp and reomve the bulbs and dry it out with a hair dryer on low heat or just air. Then install the bulbs and seal the vents and apply about 1/2 (.5) or less psi to find the air leaks. (Low pressure is key). Usually around where the lens is glued to the body. Listen with...

    Question about TSB

    Warranty Start Date & ESP Powertrain care I checked with the people in the know, and they said the complementary ESP Powertrain Care was not extended to the Ford GTs sold after July 14, 2007. In fact, no ESP of any kind was offered for the Ford GT, even for purchase.

    Question about TSB

    2006 GT powertrain warranty I found some additional information on this topic. Here are the words I found: A 2006 Model Year Ford or Mercury vehicle sold on or after July 14, 2006 and on or before October 2, 2006 will be covered by a complementary 5 years / 60,000 miles Ford ESP...

    Question about TSB

    Warranty Start Date The warranty start date is the date the dealer reports it to Ford as being sold to a retail customer. For 2006 models sold after July 14, 2006, the warranty is 3/36,000 for the entire car and 5/60,000 on the powertrain. I would assume that would include the GT as well. As...

    Vin # 1FAFP90S96Y401350

    Car Fax Reports I read in the paper where Car Fax settled a class action suit because they don't get accident reports from some states. So you don't really know if the car has not been in an accident or not.

    vin# 1FAFP90S05Y40011

    VIN Number Decoder The 11th digit in the 17 digit VIN number designates the assembly plant of manufacture. "Y" = Wixom. So, all Lincolns have a "Y" for the 11th digit as well as the GT. 9th digit = Check Digit. 10th digit = model year. 12 through 17 = Production Sequence Number (6 numbers)...

    Orange Paint Code for Heritage

    Ford did not release Epic Orange touch up paint for the GT as it was probably too low of a volume. I would use Cobra Jeff's formula and see if a delaer can make up some touch up paint for you. Maybe someone already did because some delaers have to have extra from doing paint work already for...
