1996 Ford Mustang GT Other - Windows & Glass
Question: Please help me get back all of the warning chimes for my 96 mustang gt conv, such as door open, seat belt not fastened, headlights left on, and key still in the ignition. "Dlizshs" was stolen from me in 2003 for 26 days. S Clara PD found and returned to me. The perps disconnected and/or removed all her warning sounds. If I could get a step by step on how to reinstall these chimes I would forever and ever appreciate your understanding that my Dlizshs didn't deserve this. Also the driver's side seat's motor makes a sound but it doesn't raise the seat up or down like before. Please help me get my beautiful lazer red 96 convertible back to how she should be? Thank you from bottom of my heart. Liz

Technican: Hello, This could take some time as I cannot see what you can.
Let me start by asking Do you see damaged wiring under the dash? If not, this could be as simple as replacing a removed chime module that contains the sounding device (speaker).
Do you know if the power seat has a broken cable from the verticle motor to the verticle actuators? Does the seat move horizontally all right?
Please advise.
Owner: Hello,
No I don't see any wire damage. Maybe you can tell me more about how to replace the chime module speaker step by step? The seat doesn't show a broken cord but it does show a metal rod that I know should be either linked and/or holding on something else under the seat. The seat never has moved side to side only up and down and back and forth. Liz
Technican: I'll get instructions and a pic if I can from an auto repair data base to address the chime feature.
Power seat motors usually connect to the seat position actuators via flexible cables that spin inside sleeves to control their rigidity. One such cable may be the rod that you see?? I realize that power seats move six ways and that side to side is not one of them.
Vertical seat movement is accomplished by actuators on the four corners of the seat track assembly. One such design calls for one cable from the vertical motor to run the front pair of actuators and a second cable from the same motor will run the back pair of actuators.
Quickest way to diagnose a power seat is to unbolt it and lay it on it's side so that the electrical connector can remain connected to the seat motors. Then you can see what happens when you try to control the seat with the switch to decide what is needed.
I'll be back with chime info as I find it.
Technican: Liz, I have an artist drawing of where to find the chime module for you. Would you prefer an email or would a fax be better for you? Where shall I send it?
Fuse #6 in the dash fuse panel powers the chime module. Check that fuse first. It should be a 15 amp fuse and blue in color.
So far as replacement instructions for the chime module (if we go that way) it is as simple as locating the module, unplug it from the harness and replace it with the new one. The drawing doesn't detail how the module is retained in the dash. It may be clipped or bolted to a bracket or have a plastic plug that presses into a bracket hole.
Technican: Liz, I now have information I can send you concerning the power seat operation.
Fax, or email? Where to, please?
Technican: Liz, are you with me on this or has something come up that has stalled our communication?
Owner: Rojer,
I'm back @ the computer and read your e-mails that you have info for me regarding the chime module and the driver's seat moter. Please fax to me any and all info, drawing and instructions. 408-532-8472.
Thanks so much, Liz
Technican: What time of day is an acceptable hour to send a fax? I don't want to disturb your rest.
Technican: Did you get my last message inquiring the time of day to send the fax? I want to be courteous and also need to know if a fax cover sheet is necessary?
Technican: I have sent info via fax for your review. Please tell me if it is what you hoped for.
Questions?,
Technican: I need to hear from you as to the status of this question, please.
Still want help?
Owner: ,
I'm kind of still needing to study the diagram. Since I don't have a guy to help me, I'll probabbly need more guidance with the diagram of the front of the car dash. Do I need to get in there for the chime replacement? How do I do that? I thought that I would buy that chime module. Can you give me the specifics for the installation and/or removal of the bad and/or missing chime module? Should I find it under the steering wheel or how do I get in the inner part of the fron dash, under the hood? Please help. And thanks for your courteous and patient manner of assistance. Liz
Technican: The data bases are terrible as to instructions on replacement of the chime module. I haven't found a procedure documented.
Access appears to me to be from under the dash on the driver's side. Is there a close out panel below the left side of the dash you can remove for access? I'd be looking up above the accelerator pedal for the module and see if I could pull it loose from a bracket and seperate it from the wiring harness to replace it.
Liz, do you have a Mustang Owner's Club in your area? They can be very helpful because they are so loyal to the Mustang of all model years. You may find just the person there who will help you.
Another thought is to seek out a Vo-Tech School for automotive students who are far enough along in their classes to need some hands on jobs. They do not charge labor.
Thinking out loud,
Owner: ,
I've searched all up through the steering collum from the floor up to as far as my hand can reach, but I'm beginning to think that the module is missing and that is why I can't see what I'm looking for. Could you e-mail me what a module looks like and then I'll go and buy one after I make sure that I haven't overlooked the chime module in my car. Also, the driver's side seat motor does work cause I can hear it when I direct the lever up and down. When I make the lever to one side and the other, my seat does move forward and back. It's just the up/down motion that doesn't seem to be connected even though I do hear the motor sound. Can you e-mail me more specific instructions? Liz
Technican: Hey Liz, One of the pages I sent to you shows figure 63: Warning System Circuits.
When the chime module is thought to be missing look for a connector that has the wire color codes shown in the drawing. It is a ten wire connector. If you find the connector but no module you have found the problem.
I may have a problem finding a pic of the chime module...I'll send it should I find one.
The power seat repair instructions I sent should guide you to a decision (Pinpoint Test G - Improper Up/Down Lift Operation) Please follow the instructions even though you hear the seat motor run. It will determine if you have a switch, wiring, or motor problem. The up/down motors are seperate from the forward/back motor. Testing the seat movement will require unbolting the seat from the floor and tilting the seat or laying it on its side.
Owner: ,
Well, I guess I'll wait a while for your pic. I'm kind of out of energy and/or unmotivated now. Maybe I'll get a chance later to look again. Send me via email the pic if you can get it. thanks
Technican: Okay, I'll go see my Ford dealer parts dept to see what he offers.
Technican: Well Liz, I'm not getting a response from Ford dealers (I've tried two of them). They look up the chime module, say they have never sold one, promise to send a pic if they find one and then....nothing!
