So I just had a new stereo system installed in my 2010 GT. After driving away from the installer I noticed I had the traction control light on and the ABS light on. The info center also said Service Advancetrac. I checked all the fuses and they are fine. Did the installer screw up something electrical or did the basturds take my car out and break it by playing with it? Any advice here would be awesome cause Im about to take it down there tomorrow morning and shove it up their.....where the sun don't shine. Thanks.

You need to pull the engine fault codes and see what the ECU is complaining about.
It appears to be in limp mode.

One of the codes is p1000 but that one its normal for having the battery disconnected? The other one just said chassis but I couldn't pull up the description. Can't remember what the number for that one was. Correct me if I'm wrong tho wouldn't the car run funny or sluggish if it was in limp mode? I don't have an actual check engine light or the little wrench light so I dunno?

ABS and Traction control lights lit at the same time indicate traction control is disabled, and wont throw you into limp mode,

Do the lights stay on after restarting the car? My traction control will occasionally turn itself off, and will reset after restarting the car.

Traction control can be disabled in the tune, If the lights are still lit, If you have a tuner, try reloading the tune,

Hello sa_twister,

I recommend you have your vehicle diagnosed at your Ford dealer. Your Service Manager is in the best position to look into this for you. He can check into any assistance, Recalls, or Customer Satisfaction Programs that may apply to your vehicle. Let me know the outcome.
