2000 GT Troubles - HELP!
Ok, my husband has a beautiful 2000 GT that is having a couple of
strange problems. I had him sum them up (see below). Anyone have any advice or ideas about what could be causing these troubles. We are taking it to the dealership this weekend, but I wanted to see if anyone else had similar problems. And here's the list of symptoms: "2000 GT Mach 460 Factory installed Stereo system Buzzing/whining over speakers while at idle....goes away as the car speeds up Today I noticed the same whining noise (same pitch) outside the car, like an alternator might be bad or something and when I looked under the hood I couldn't hear it as much, but noticed that the compressor for the A/C kept clicking on and off really fast, like it couldn't commit to being on or off. My a/c seems to be cold, although the frequent cycling may be due to low Freon and not the electrical problems I've been seeing. The Idle speed drops off a lot when the compressor kicks on too. There was also one time when the passenger power window wouldn't work when I pressed the button from either side, but after that one time, it's been fine." Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thx |

It would just make a faint click. I took the motor out and hooked it back to the cable, but the motor worked then. So I put it back in and now it works. I'm guessing the rollers were stuck in the track and I'm waiting for it to happen again. -- Tropic Green Y2K Mustang GT W/bits & pieces http://tinyurl.com/eh99n |
