- New uploads Monday,Wednesday, and Saturday! Smurrf, the Mustang GT I've had since the beginning has been an amazing car to me other than minor hiccups due to me modifying the car more and more. Even with the procharger it's still managed to hit 101,000 miles on stock everything. Well, the time has finally come to have a VERY annoying problem as you see me troubleshoot it one step at a time. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching guys! Gotta love wiring.
Have an awesome day!
ThatDudeinBlue Have you ever featured a 92 typhoon? Im tastefully modding mine over the winter. :)
ThatDudeinBlue check the splice in wires for the headlights mine did that on my 94 gt with the projector headlights
ThatDudeinBlue My 2007 STi is having some weird Electrical problem too, something drains my battery , thinking there’s a short somewhere that’s draining it. Love wiring problems...
So with these fords, if its the same way as my mothers car, the lights are hooked up in tandem not separate. So when one light goes out, the other one does as well. That could be the issue?
ThatDudeinBlue if you put some oil on the battery cable, it’ll keep it from corroding
Mustang got jealous of the supra and it wasn't having it without an apology. Seems you forgot to apologize
David, please dont listen to people suggesting to put a 20 amp fuse in. You run the risk of melting your wiring, or your car catching on fire.
while lights are on, open the hood, and jostle the wires that you suspect were the issue. If they were, the lights should go out and it should be semi- repeatable.
This channel is the reason I’ve wanted to buy a 2013-14 Mustang for so long.
Just opened the RUclips app and not even a second later your new video notification popped up. Talk about great timing!
Ok David, but did Alexandra get pizza?
zibby Jdm that’s not her name 💀
zibby Jdm is that supposed to be a joke / reference to something?
It's a reference to this video, the one that you ostensibly watched shortly before posting that comment.
It's the non-Spanish version, same difference.
Hey bud I know the problem my friend has the same exact car with the same issue he had a loose ground somewhere took him like 2 weeks to find it lol like so he can see it.
Christian Rice Yeah, I would agree with that.
Timothy Picciuolo If a loose ground cable touches another cable that's supposed to provide power, it can create a short and blow the fuse.
I think it got jealous by the supra! It doesn't like having other girls in its territory. But I hope you find the problem😎
The240sxGarage I see you 👀
Isael Dominguez 😎😎
Nah this is a real thing due I bought a Honda Del Sol to work on as a project and because I miss driving manual since I bought my truck. My truck Wendy has NEVER had any issues not a one. I bought Holly though and have been driving her for 3ish weeks. Working on her adding stuff. I went to start up Wendy just to give her a start maybe drive her to work today. Battery is completely dead. I had been starting her once a week for 15 minutes at a time and now she just wont start. Cars care when you bring in other cars...Wonder how Holly feels when I bring a terminator home..... :O
It somewhat sounds like you may be getting unintentional ground somewhere, I'm no expert but it could be a possibility
FredWasHere either short to ground or short to circuit.
Jordan Gutierrez short to ground is unintentional ground that's what it's called I commented on it earlier on on the video rather than wait till the end
Short to ground or short through the load. Unintentional ground is what you say when you're having a senior moment... fock, what's the damn word!?!
FredWasHere im agreeing with you bud, just adding that it could also be caused by a short to circuit somewhere as well.
The S197 is pretty solid electrically. Most of the issues I've seen are wiring being melted by mods. Check any wiring going near exhaust or any of the other hot bits. I'd also try a multimeter to check for current (not voltage). Take one of the blown fuses and cut it in half. Solder leads on the contacts fuses have on the top to test. Or you can use something like the ESI 303B fuse Buddy which is basically the same thing premade. Hook up red to one side and black to the other. I'd recommend and DMM that can do at least 20 amps of current. Many can't and they do have fuses themselves so be sure the DMM can handle the current since at this point it becomes the fuse. Step one is unplug all the lights and turn the switch off. Test draw here. If there is a current draw your short is before the light switch. If not step 2. Keep all the lights unplugged but turn on the switch. At this point your power draw should be minimal still (in the milliamps range if anything at all). If you're blowing fuses the short has to be a few amps minimum. If you're still good at this point then power up the car with the lights unplugged. Let it warm up and make sure you're still good. Next I'd try the brake (still all lights unplugged) to make sure it's not a short on the brake lights (I'm betting this is where it will be). Then I'd start adding lights in one by one. While keeping the car running/warmed up. Wait about 5 minutes in between each light and monitor any climbing in current draw. Keep in mind that once you plug in the lights the current will start going up. You can compare power draw by comparing left to right just to get an idea how much each light draws.
Once you find out where the current draw spikes it gets a bit trickier. Basically you have to segregate the individual runs. Unplug the battery and just test for resistance between the negative and positive on individual points in the harness with nothing attached (no bulbs or batteries). I haven't had a reason to look at my wiring too closely so I can't help you much at finding out where it splits there. I'm guessing if you follow the brake switch and pull the headlamp switch you can separate them pretty quickly. If you pull the headlight switch off with the car battery disconnected you can short individual pins on the light connectors to ground and test for continuity on the light switch.
The mustang was just messin with you. She felt neglected with the Supra around
Wiring is black magic that no one will ever understand... This is coming from a 3rd year electrical engineering student, it all makes sense on paper until 100,000 miles gets in between that
electricity is easy to understand. you might wanna change your major haha
Charles Doodson lol bro it really isn’t. Brand new, it’s somewhat mechanical in the sense that it’s yes or no but you start getting old stuff and it’ll work sometimes, sometimes it won’t, for no apparent reason. It’s just how it is
Charles has apparently gotten a short somewhere in his car where it immediately blows the fuse for that circuit, pulled the entire body harness and fully tested every component and found no issues. just to be defeated in the end once power is put to that circuit
Like I said on paper it's easy, but when u get wear and tear on components it has so many hidden variables that it makes it almost impossible to see what exactly is wrong
BaioWithMayo theres people repairing PC mainboards... That must be a nightmare
Sounds like a wire grounding out somewhere. I'd check all your aftermarket modifications and see if there's a bad wire too.
I'm a huge fan of the 240 that car is so badass
You make it sound like this just happened lol you’ve been driving around like this for ages
Always look forward to your videos in the morning 😎
Thank you!
Jesus Lopez jalous
Do you have any of your gauges running off that circuit?
dropinbiking92 this.
Get a multimeter and check the voltage on each one of the light to see if you get spikes and check it at the fuze box as well.
Electrical gremlins are the worst!! I had an old Rabbit Cabriolet that had endless issues. Never figured out some issues.
RevMatchTV I had a bunch of Beetles back in the day. VW have terrible wiring.
TomsFruitStand Haha Yes. VW has bad wiring!
Vw is the issue lol mine was a goddamn nightmare
and people want automated cars.... I'm just starting to think those fools think cars are throw away items
"Finally Broke"
The dreaded words that comes from every car guy's mouth
Time to get a Bullit...😂
I wonder if David becomes Papí Davíd after hours.
Edwin i too, wonder about this sometimes....
I feel the same with my 99 Mustang GT with over 260,000 miles on the odometer. As a high mileage 18 year old car there is always something breaking every couple of weeks or so. I haven't given up on it, it has become a part of me through all the countless hours and memories I have shared with it. I don't plan on giving it up as long as I live.
Did you feed it after midnight? Come on David, THAT'S THE ONE RULE
Check the harness going to the 3rd light. Got this problem on mine when closing the trunk my fuse was blowing out, so check there just in case. (The jonction between the trunk and the trunk panel the wire get stretch with time)
might be, his third brake light never lit up.
cssplayer19 he unplug it thats why but my problem make the car blow the fuse for all the rear end
It's a pretty common issue for a lot of cars to have trunk/liftgate wires break due to the amount of movement they go through over their lifetime. It fatigues the wires and they end up breaking internally. It wouldn't be a bad idea to change that trunk wiring harness.
Glad you were able to figure it out...electrical issues are not easy to fix.
As far as the battery terminal corrosion, brush on some vasoline onto the battery post and connections. Repeat every other oil change. Cheap fix and no more corrosion!
Mr, Blue. Thank you.You did something I never thought someone could ever do, I never really "liked" the Mustang, thanks to you I'm actually buying one, and I thank you for that. I now have another car.
You melted a wire somewhere, I did this 2 years ago. Check wires near hot areas
But damn that stang sounds soo good
Yesssss it does it sounds 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Before becoming a car tech, I was afraid to touch at electric issues, thinking it was like magic or something complicated like that. Now I love fixing electric troubles. It became so easy.
Hi dude love your videos. I am an auto electrician by trade the way I test for shorts is you take your standard h4 blub for a head lamp and put some wires on it just two is fine. Next remove the fuse which you suspect has the short and insert those wires in the fuse( one wire to one terminal and the other wire to the other terminal)* VERY IMPRORTANT don't let the wires bridge the fuse you want the headlamp to act as a fuse* now turn your lights on the blud should glow faintly. If the bulb comes in bright and blinds you then you have a short. Moving along the harness plug each point along the harness till the light goes dim when it does that section you unpluged is the section of the harness with the fault. You can also leave the headlamp in and take the vehicle for a drive to see that the short has been fixed. Cheers from Zimbabwe man have a good one if you are a bit confused don't hesitate to ask.
This was like watching a nightmare, i hate wiring 😂
congrats on 800k homie
The integra makes me so happy every time i see those tail-lights in the back of your video's. can't wait to see you driving it once it's set up the way you want.
Another '13 mustang gt owner here. Our cars are known for having issues with their Smart Junction Box (the fuse box in the passenger side footwell). All our lighting controls are ran through it and can cause a number of odd problems when they start to fail.
Your mustang is my dream car. I love the s197’s more than the s550’s
When the girlfriend wants to go get pizza, you go get pizza. 🍕
09victoryrc lol
09victoryrc Unless the guy actually has some balls.
I gotta 93 Buick century that's an electrical chore. Cruise control is gone. 3rd brake light shorts. Brake light sensor stays on time to time. Right blinker stays solid due to harness short. It's a joy.
Hey dude! Huge fan of your channel, I am an electrical engineer and Ive had this problem in a Volvo XC60 in the past, the best way to find it is using a multimeter to spot the spike in current, there has to te a cable thats shorting out ( the one you found could be the culprit) or just a defective contact in the headlights. In my case it was a defective contact in one of the taillights. You should test each connector for spikes in current and never increase the amperage of your fuses high current is no joke. Best of luck!
Are your reverse lights maybe shorting out????? I'm only 3/4 through video so maybe not.
Michael Bacon that's what I was thinking
Michael Bacon same thought
probably
They cut out right when he was backing out of his garage. So that's what I thought as well.
Reverse lights won't do that.
It saw you cheating on her with that supra
bigflip707 LOL I'm sure there's enough love to go around
David. The corner markers are on the same circuit. If the front bumper has been off multiple times I would check the wires for the front corner markers also. Definitely a power short to ground and it seemed to happen when you are turning. Maybe a tire rubbing the inner finder and pinched the wires for the front markers..
In both fords I have had the wire harness that attaches to the bulb melts down, look into that. As in unplug the headlight cables and make sure the connectors look good.
Detailed?? Look at those swirls on the black part of the trunk!
Ask Chris fix for help
I love fixing wiring issues. Next time check areas that you know you've taken apart in the past and check for anything that might have rubbed or gotten pinched near metal. Wiggling the harnesses in that circuit until the fuse pops is usually a quick way of finding a short.
I love watching your videos because I miss my grabber blue mustang!! I had the same problem as you. My tail lights would keep going out. My boyfriend would put a new fuse && it would keep blowing out!! I took it to the mechanic and he fixed it && then one day it did it again && he had to fix it again something about something rubbing something together and shorting it out!!! I love and miss that car so much!! I hit two deer in it.. It was a blessing I supposed bc my grabber blue had a lot of electrical problems going on!!
4:53 😂😂😂🍕
Sarah -n- Tuned XD x2 :v
Look who dropped in!
I'm a certified Ford tech let me look at it! Would fr if you were close. But I can get you any wiring diagrams you need and try to help you myself if that would help any? First need to figure out everything that runs on that circuit that gets power from that fuse so you can narrow it down. Also a circuit breaker could help so you don't keep losing fuses, it would just pop the tab on the tool and not the fuse.
I'll be Frank I'm Leary about using my name I have been doing it for a little over 3 years now. But trust me I am definitely looking into other things lmao.
check out house A/C repair, if you passed auto A/C certification the you should have no problem passing it for houses. Its way less cramped and it is more stable in the long term. or heavy equipment like bulldozes. Cars are not great because you often need special tools that cost big money then next year they change the design so now you have a useless tool whereas house and heavy equipment are basic and don't change as frequent.
I'll be Frank I'm Leary about using my name yeah you are absolutely right about that. I'll look into it man thanks! Also even thought about IT.
Certified ford tech equals mad job security
Project Cars & Modz It does with a lot of other bullcrap that goes with it. Gets old very quick....
hey david, I believe its a grounding issue somewhere, that's why they usually go out when your driving because the wires probably moved enough to short something or disconnect a ground. Something along those lines.
If you haven't already be sure to check for any recalls or TSBs, lighting issues are pretty common things to find on them.
Smurrf does not kno de wae
MMT25 UGANDAN NUCKLES
MMT25 can it show me dae way to da queen
I work avionics in the military. This happens SO MUCH! Pilot: this fuel gauge isn't working. So I go check it, and it's perfectly fine. Making me look like the asshole!
sounds safe
TheScientist the sad thing is, I have to fix something to make the original write-up go away. So I have to keep looking until I find the fault.
R2 stick actuator.
Patrick Austin that’s why you get paid the big bucks, or still waiting
Manny 5.0 lmao enlisted military does not get "big bucks" they don't get paid poorly, but it's not great. nd it has nothing to do w the job you have, merely your rank and time served.
I had a similar issue with my 94 Accord, and every time I changed the fuse (small lights as it's called in Hondas) and turned the lights on, the fuse would instantly blow with an audible pop. I later found out it was a wiring short in the stereo system harness wiring that was making unintentional ground. I fixed it by putting electrical tape on the exposed wire and fixed my issue.
However, I don't know if newer Fords can do something similar in comparison. Best of luck fixing it!
This brings back memories of when I had a hundred problems with my HIDs on my V6
Well... at least you didn't need to use pliers to turn your lights on cause the headlight knob fell off
Grizzly Garage my moms old explorer had that happen lol dpes this crap happen in newer fords ?
GhostlyGhille lol idk it just happened in my 98 gt
Grizzly Garage same thing happened to me right as I started shrooming pretty hard and it was getting dark haha made it home safely though thankfully fucking 00 mustang problems
Sn95 problems.
Still got mine in my 98 gt now that I read this My luck it’ll happen next time I take it out 😂
you have a wire short in the harness.
It feels good to see another Mustang related Vlog, it’s been a while ...
Not sure why your video came up on my feed. But I hope the problem is fix. Great looking and sounding car. Always neat to see a Georgia RUclipsr.
The fuse is blowing because you have a short in the wiring. Its not the taillights. If they're unplugged and its still blowing a fuse, its not in the damn taillights.
If a mustang breaks all I can say is "as long as it didn't take a crowd down with em"
GTR Wendy why do you care about the crowds more lolz
GTR Wendy These jokes are getting kinda old
Wow you are just so funny
GTR Wendy why do I see u everywhere 😂😂 ur the only car girl I know and I have seen u In many channels and u watch smosh too 😂😂 James would be so happy to hear that😆😆
Hulk Alpha She used to do this shit but actually ask you to watch her videos, now does this stupid shit. And what about her owning a car? You think I don’t own a car? Look at my profile picture.
You have an intermittent short on one of the wires 12v wires coming off of that fuse. Look at the schematic and see what all is feed by that fuse and trace it back. Easier said than done. When I was a technician this was one of my specialties.
Use a volt meter to check the resistance on any of the wires sending power to the parking lights. If you get any resistance then there is a short along that wire. Also make sure the ground terminals for the battery and ground straps for the motor are clean lol thats a good start too
My bet is the bcm has a short
Baking sofa works great for battery terminals
mike hardwick where can I find a baking sofa
Agr0_ 😂😂😂😂
Furniture baking isle dude duh lol
Agr0_ Lmao
Detailing and stuff ! Baking or furniture aisle?
as someone who works at ford we've had a couple of ppl who brought in 2010-12 5.0s with the same issue ruled out to be a bad ground from the taillights/reverse lights
Also as a tip to anyone....when your lights go out the circuit treats them as if they dont exist (they no longer have a resistance value ie not a circuit element)....what Im saying is if your fuse is blowing like this, its enough to bypass what is built in excess handling ability of the circuit, which would indicate a larger issue than one or two lights going out
Unintentional ground I bet
Electronic issues in a mustang? wowww imagine that.
Cazmeus right i usually expect electrical failures in Gms not even knocking gm just personal experience with gms
I second that with my personal experience on GM lol
Lol seriously had an 06 gt was going on a sprited night drive and my hazards turned on radio turned itself on at max volume fans turned on by themselves at max and my dash turned red than back to green repeatedly scared the fuck out of me and thought i
was getting abducted by aliens haha worst thing to happen when driving fast
GhostlyGhille I can’t help but totally agree. I’ve found fords electrical to be great compared to General Motors, what a headache.
GM vehicles are definitely electrical nightmares
Can I just say how great this car looks for how many miles it has. That paint looks immaculate.
Good job troubleshooting David. Electrical problems are the worst!
nooo she cant be broke :(
Could be worse...**COUGH** **COUGH**
I'd check around the driveshaft to make sure there aren't any wires hanging around. That happened in my dad's car where one of the little clips for the wire bundle broke under the car and it hung against the driveshaft, so eventually it rubbed its way through the coating and exposed like 5 different wires in the bundle and grounded them to the driveshaft.
So many ways I can explain this. Lol Let's see if this is the easiest. Heat dries the the coating around your wires. (No protection)
When you drive the current going through your wires hit capacity.
When the dried coated wires touch you end up with a shortage.
Use electric tape around all the wires that plug into the connectors. And you'll save yourself a shop visit.
P.s your the man DIB. Videos are always entertaining.
Who detailed your car? I see swirls everywhere
oh no
Its The ground wiring
I'd bank on a bad trunk wiring harness. Those wires flex so much from being opened and closed so much that it probably broke a wire internally and has an intermittent fault or even a permanently bad connection which is only just strong enough to continue to allow normal operation until it shorts and pops the fuse. That would sure explain why the length of time between fuses varies so much.
As a wiring tech for Ford it is an intermittent short to ground in a wire harness before the load (or your lights)
David I’m a ford tech and I have seen the trunk harness break over time in the location where it moves in the trunk will break the wires check there for breaks under the tape
notification squad!!!!!!
MY PEOPLE!
To be fair mustangs only need to be able to see the crowd they hit.
This may sound dumb but did you double check that you're using the correct amp fuze? If you're accidentally using one that's too small it could be breaking
Electrical issues often the worst problems to try and chase down, if you got a multi-meter and can find a wiring diagram it usually helps
speed things a long but sometimes you just end up chasing those electrical gremlins forever.
You should ask Scotty Kilmer
Benjamin Thomas why
Look A G he is the car guru Man
he just gonna scream "you gotta short somebody ripped you off" thats his go to answer
Scotty Killerman ur right he likes mercedes
Dudeinblue: "Hey Scotty, so..."
Scotty: "REV UP YOUR ENGINES!"
Dudeinblue: "..."
Scotty: *intro music starts playing*
If I took a shot everytime his cars broke, I'd have liver disease.
Project DIY I guess, the 240 has broken alot. Not a bad car but yeah I believe the 1st engine, a 2jz seized up right?
Puff the Magic Dragon someting like that
Hey David check the battery mine started going bad on the negative side just like that which after much stress from similar problems. Found out the battery caused the corrosion and all other symptoms. Replace the battery! My friend and good luck.
Could be a body control module. My chevy cobalt had the same problem where the tailights shorted out. The wattage would jump to 25 on a 5 watt fuze and we put in a 25 watt fuze which helped but we eventually put a new body control module. That fixed whole problem.
This is fords way of telling you you haven't hit enough people in your mustang.
red eye flights89 wow I didn't know the date was January 15th, 2016...
Ant DePietto 2016? Nah bro that meme died in 2015
Dude Shark even better
hahaha so funny hahahaha fuk i cant stop laughing. Why dont u start a comedy show i am sure you get big money with these types of joke it never gets old hahahahahahah hell funny hahahaha fuk
No ford is good
Time for an 18 dude
I feel your pain. I swapped out the oem standard radio in my 2014 mustang to the oem navigation. Everything works, but the temperature is backwards. Drives me nuts.
Pulling the license plate bulbs doesn't mean they aren't the issue. The positive wire can still contacts the chassis without the bulb being there.
My 2015 GT did the exact same thing. Passenger taillight did whatever IT wanted. Randomly went off, even when lights weren't on Auto. Know what I did? I traded that bitch for an RS.
Hank Bobotek lol
Hank Bobotek lol dont push it too much
Brandon Hall it’s gone. Traded for a WRX. Ironically, ford is about to release a TSB that replaces the head gasket on every single ‘16 and ‘17 RS, whether it exhibits problems or not. Talk about an expensive mistake on fords part. It was an absolutely awesome car though, credit where credits due.
Lolz it’s not broken. Definitely an annoying problem but by no means broken. And about the corrosion on the battery terminal, can be avoided by putting a few drops of used/new motor oil. Have you tried using a 20amp fuse?
David Martin never increase amperage of a fuse. It's blowing for a reason
David Martin that's how idiots try to fix shorts
Ugh dont listen to this guy
Yeah, the fuse that is recommended is the one that's perfect for the circuit and the bulbs. It worked perfect for years without an issue with the fuse it's supposed to use, so that means there is a problem, and yes it means that something is "broken" somewhere. To tell someone to go up in amperage on a fuse is some of the stupidest advice you can give to them!
"Oh Hell... my car just burned to the ground, but that pesky fuse didn't blow though" Lmao
Chill chill, I meant that as a way to see if it was still blowing the fuse😑. Never said to replace it with a higher amp fuse. Actually idiots are the ones that assume.
If you continue to have problems with it, I had an is300 and the fog lights where on the rear running light circuit along with the tag lights. So check the fog light wires and or the tag light wires.
It sounds like a short either to ground or in the circuit. Maybe further inspect the ground in the trunk and the wiring behind the rear bumper?
this was cringy to watch
The problem is mustang :D
Rolandas Jarosevicius u mom gay
Rolandas Jarosevicius it's a ford
DavidikHD Ford mustang..
I'd look into getting that battery checked/replaced soon. Corrosion on the negative side only usually means the battery is bad.
I'm coming in a bit late so if it's fixed... my bad. So the first I would what uses that fuse. You'll have to read your fuse box label. If it only has tail lights listed then ok but if you have tail light/marker(sometimes called park lights) then you'll have to check more than just rear lights so make sure that fuse powers only the tails. If so disconnecting the tail lights only confirms the light itself is fine not the harness forward of the connector. You'll have to follow it forward. With intermittent issues I normally switch to circuit breaker fuse. That way when it trips the breaker it will reset to get your lights back. Now you can tug on the harness in small sections while listening for the reset click.
Normally the first place I'd go would be any mod. Not saying it's been butchered but that you've changed the factory harness routing which can stress harness fitment making it rub through at a sharp place or by heat near it. So any mod can cause it. And I think most
your mods aren't in the back so the harness should be good. I'd check the front DRL harness on both sides. Headlights are on their own circuit so you shouldn't have to have them on. Just your parking lights but if it doesn't blow the fuse then check around the headlight bulbs or housing where the harness comes in to the marker light socket. I've seen burned wires barely touching the headlight causing a short. Hth.
