I have a 2003 Mustang. I had a problem when I hit a large bump the subs would cut out for a second. I pulled the 30A fuse out to check it, it was fine. But when I pushed it back in, it no longet seems tight. I looked behind the fuse panel, and it looks like something is missing. On every fuse, there is either a wire on one side with a clip type socket on the other, or one wire to each side of the fuse socket.
The fuse I am referring to is in socket 9 labeled Mach460 Amp. There is a RED / wht strip wire into one side, and it seems the other side is empty. I searched but cant seem to find any fuse box schematics on line to show if there is another wire that may have popped out when I reinserted, or if there is a clip to the 12v ribbon power running through the box. Before I drop everything down and try to trace it, does anyone know where I can find what I am looking for? I really dont want to go back to Ford, I dont trust them with this.
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Craig
Did the car come with the Mach 460 system? It should say so on the A pillar speaker covers. If it did not it's possible the fuse is not hooked up to anything because there is no stock amp.
Yes, it has the 460 and it is hooked up to the sub woofer amp. Since the fuse has been out, I get no bass at all. Typcially when you first turn on the radio, you get the tweeters, and the woofers kick in a second later. Since the fuse has come out, no woofers at all. That's what I need to fix.
Hate to say but it sounds like you did push the fuse link out of the box. Take it to a local car audio shop before ford if it's out of warranty. Car dealers typically are worthless when it comes to audio problems.
Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not something I would do.
It is still under warranty, but I agree Ford is useless and would more likely try something like replacing the harness, or something else expensive just so the dealer could make money.
A local stereo shop working on the car would void the warranty, and there since this not an aftermarket install, I dont want to pay hourly fees for someone who does not have have specific knoweldge of the problem. I appreciate your time, but I was not loooking for repair advice, rather technical information or resource to a wiring schematic. I can fix this myself if I have the scematic of the fusebox, all I need to know is what the wire coding is to that particular socket. I wont have the shop manual for another week. I thought someone here might be able to point me to an on line resource which would save me some time.
If anyone has the wiring information for a 2003 Mustang fusebox, I would be greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you.
