Ok so im having another wonderful issue with this piece of shit. Intermittently the left side turn signals wouldnt work, wouldnt signal or sequence sometimes glash sometimes not. Sometimes it would work fine. So i get the car all cleaned up to go cruise and now the left taillight wount lite at all. No brake lights/sequences/running light at all from the left light except it lights when i hit the unlock button? This is my daily driver any suggestions before it goes to the dealer where they have no loaners for me. Im super o.c.d and the ideal of someone touching my car much less working on it freaks me out. I do my own work but im lost on this l.e.d light crap

Good luck i got money says if its the actual tail light that they dont have any there. So your probably gonna have to bring it back in again. None the less atleast it isnt engine, trans, or suspension related.

Nobodys whining ass clown ive owned 25 stangs and this one has cost the most and has the most issues. You'd be mad too so dont be a prick. Anyways i did a little diagnostic work and it seems to be a loose connection in the assembly itself. If you take it out and shake it while its plugged in it starts to work. Hope this helps if anyone else comes across this issue. Ill keep posted on what the dealer says tomorrow

Lol "ass clown"...I understand your frustration, after dropping down the cash you don't expect these issues to come up. I've been fortunate with my stang had it about 9 months not a single issue even with all the mods I've done. Stick with it get the tranny fixed put all the frustration behind you, and enjoy your new beast!!!

I would have them take it off a new one they have on the lot. Would save you the extra days of waiting.:rolling:
