Red Fuel Gauge
I have an '05 GT. This past week I had my first problems with the car. I have 28,500 miles on it.
1. The driver side molding above the window came loose. It did not fall off but it rattles. Dealer will fix.
2. The chrome rings around the center A/C barrels are loose to the point they rattle when on 'high air'. Dealer ordered new chrome rings.
3. Four of the bolts on the Saleen S/C were loose. Dealer tightened and torqued to Saleen spec.
4. Driving down the center of town my gas gauge turned bright red and the needle went to empty. I turned into the closest gas station (1 block) and turned the engine off. I knew I had 3/4 of a tank. I turned the engine back on and everything was fine with the gas gauge. It showed the correct color and correct amount of gas. The bad news is that the emissions warning light came on and did not go off. I drove it home and Monday it went into the dealership. The bad news was the Mustang has a Saleen S/C and program so the dealership could not communicate with the computer. So I had to call Saleen and have them send the settings to the dealership. Even with the Saleen settings they still could not fully communicate with the OBD II. So they just ended up wiping the error code. Keep in mind that this is all taking place in the middle of the low desert in BFE. The next day I made a run from the low desert to the high desert to visit the Mohave Marine base. I pegged the needle at 145 MPH and the RPM was still climbing with 500 revs to go. What a rush. Everything ran straight and normal. No warning lights have come on since. I am curious to know; have any of you '05 Mustang GT owners ever had your fuel gauge go completely red? Just the fuel gauge, the other gauges were not effected.
