Problem with ignition?

codevision · April 15th, 2009, 01:37 PM

Hi guys,
this is my first post here.

Since few weeks sometimes I have a strange problem when I try to start engine in my 05'GT. When I move key from position 3 to position 4 (start) sometimes engine doesn't start and nothing happens at all (only mileage numbers disappears)(video2), but sometimes I can hear a short sound of starting engine but it doesn't(video1). It happens occasionally, but this is very annoying. Also I've noticed that it doesn't matter whether engine is hot or cold. If this happened I need to pull out the key from the ignition, open and close the doors ad try again - in 90% of cases it solves the problem for the while...

Please refer to these videos where I've recorded moment when I'm trying to crank the engine.

Does anybody have idea what could be broken?

Sorry for my english - I hope this post make sense.

I cant see videos but it sounds like a battery issue or ground fault issue.

ford knows about this issue, they will fix it. I had mine fixed last year under warrenty

Unfortunately warranty will not work for me since I'm living in Europe. Do you know what they fix for you?

07 STROKER · April 15th, 2009, 02:52 PM

no i dont. sorry

I thought i was having a problem with mine when i realized that unless i have the pedal ALL THE WAY to the floor it will not let it start. I would turn the key and it would just click. so you might want to check that.

BuRnIn_YoUrS · April 15th, 2009, 03:45 PM

@BuRnIn_YoUrS, by pedal you mean a clutch, right? I'm always starting mine with clutch in the floor, but maybe not enough deeply .... I will try this.

Thanks!
