Hello fellow Stang owners!
I ordered my '05 Ford Mustang, GT Premium, with Redfire Metalic paint, Dark Charcoal leather interior, Interior Upgrade Package, 17" Bullit wheels, 5-speed manual transmission, rear spoiler, shaker 500 stereo. This car was ordered on 2/16/2005. It was serialized on 03/24, built the week of 4/4, released from the assembly plant on 04/07, shipped by rail car on 04/09, delivered to dealership on 04/14, purchased by me on 4/15. The car looks better than I had imagined, and runs fantastic. I had heard of some problems that others were having, but have not had these problems. For example, I had heard of gas tank problems when refueling, clicking clutches, popping steering, popping struts or shocks, clunking manual transmissions when shifting gears, skipping shaker stereo systems, and others. None of these problems are present in my car. However, I have had one particular problem, which I was hoping someone could shed some light on it.
Sometimes, when I go to start my GT, mostly when it has run for a while, I turn the switch to the position that fires up the engine, and nothing happens. When I release the key, the gauges all go down, and a small noise comes from the dash. All the car does, when I turn the key to the position to start it, is the engine 'clicks.' Sometimes, i have to do this 5 to 10 times before the engine will finally start up. I don't mean that the engine is trying to start up, it isn't getting any juice at all the first few times. It looks like an electrical problem, but I wonder if I am doing something wrong, when I go to start my car. Today, I stopped in at a gas station to refuel. When I got back in the car, I had to sit in the car almost 10 minutes, turning the key, before the engine fired up. All it kept doing was 'clicking' when I would turn the key. What is the problem?
