Electrical problems
I have an '07 ford mustang 4.0L
I've had this issue where theres a parasitic drain coming from my horn so I just remove the fuse to avoid it. I'm looking to get this actually fixed because its been a year long battle on my own trying to figure it out. Once a parasitic drain has been tracked down what do I begin to replace/look for? I've gone through all the grounds to assure they are a good connection. Many other aftermarket parts have been taken out/disconnected to ensure its not them causing this (i.e. sound system/radio/remote start). My fog lights also do not work, they would work normal and would sometimes go off over bumps, now they don't work at all, and my only last suspicioun is that its the build in the headlight switch itself, otherwise im stunned. Third issue that I've had since I had the car is my left driver side sub goes out. Car came with the shaker 500 system and it had the problem when I bought it, I've since replaced the radio/subs/speakers and the same consistent/inconsistent problem still happens where it goes out/is underpowered, my last assumption on that one is that the amp for it is bunk, anyone know which one goes to the left sub, the one on the left or right? (under dash drivers side). If you can help with any of these problems please do, they all happened at different times so I assume I'll be finding three solutions instead of knocking them all out at once.
