Great to hear bro! Was it just a freak thing or did the gauge installation provoke it? I plan to install a few more gauges in my car in the future and it would be good to know if that had something to do with it. Those "add-a-fuse" things don't look too sturdy but I used them in my install too.

Just take a vacation from the internet and look what happens....

Just for future reference, if you insert the key and turn it to run, the PATS
icon will stop flashing if the PATS system recognizes a properly coded key.
Then the PATS system can be ruled out as the cause of the no starting.

Thanks guys! I just got back yesterday. So since I finially got her back I thought I would get her a few things since I was gone for so long. I ordered the CDC Grill w/o the emblem, and scheduled an appt. for window tint!

The guy at the shop said he has seen a few others stangs have issues with the same junction box, but he said it could have been caused by the gauge's. He said he didnt know for sure.
