Problem with my 01 GT ? some help

Hotshot_98GT · January 21st, 2011, 10:27 AM

do you have any codes on your OBDII? when the alternator starts going bad sometimes it throws off a weird magnetic field that throws off a lot of the sensors, and also makes the speakers hum. Mine started humming and the cam and crank position sensors started throwing codes and the car started backfiring. Replaced the alternator and everything went back to normal

Yea the car started to backfire a bit. what I did today (few days off I have), I disconnected the alternator and The humming went away. When I pluged it back, I switched the A/C on and pressed both window buttons at the same time along with the brake pedal and it did the Humming noise.
Conclusion ---> ALTERNATOR. everytime I used any power accesories the noise will increase. I ordered a NEW alternator directly from FORD part. My Good friend who owns a shop got a discount and it came out to be $125.

They're not good at all! They're junk, as I mentioned earlier in the thread. mines 2 months old and it's already crappin out. but I can't get a refund, exchange only. So I guess I gotta deal with it. The bright side is it came with a lifetime warranty, so if it decides to take a crap I can get a new one
