Burn smell when I set the heater blower to #3, SolvedSolved

Ford Mustang 2006 mustang gt 117650 miles
Burn smell when blower is on #3. I already changed out the blower motor, resistor and pictail connector wire. I recently replaced the Relay mod for the blower motor but I have not evaluated the issue for improvement yet. Is there any other suggestions that I can consider before replacing the Resistor again? Please advise.

I'm still 'not sure' if I fixed the issue yet, but so far I haven't detected any new burn smells when switched to 3. I think the Relay was the best fix of all, but no one even suggested that as the remedy. I spoke with many experts before acting on it and only spent $12. On the replacement and installed it myself. Shop charges of $150. Were avoided.

Fuse 47 always blows

Ford Mustang 2007 Base, 4.0l v6 118000 miles
Fuse leads to maf, evap, and 4 O2 sensors, sensors are good, wires are good, on initial key turn fuse 47 immediately blows, supposed to be a 15amp but blew a 30, stuck in limp mode because of it, traced problem to the fuse box itself, replaced it and fuse still imploded

I had this issue, Found out it was the fuse so i replaced it except mine worked for awhile it popped so i just bought alot of them cause i was too busy to deal with it and just kept replacing the fuses some would last longer then others sometimes even 3 to 4weeks, Eventually the problem went away, Still don't know what it was to this day. Car seemed to have fixed itself.

It's a short. Mine did the same thing periodically. One of the 02 upstream wires where barley touching the frame through a very small cut in the wire. When you throddle hard (various driving conditions) it would make a solid connection and blow the fuze shorting the 02 and maf connection putting the car in limp mode. Yours should be the same however the short could be in a different location. The only way to find the short is while it is in fact shorted. Aka one side will be negative the other side of the fuze positive. Following the wire under this condition you can cut it and check both ends Following the ground (that's not supposed to be ground) until you identify it's location. Likely start at the 02 sensor as that's where mine was.

Is it up near the firewall or all the way to the right in that channel between the frame and the plastic cover for the fuse box? I have a 2011 and found that the drain hole between the firewall and cabin filter was completely plugged with gunk that would force water to leak into the passenger foot area

I noticed when I did the ccrm swap because my cuztomer was concern over the crank no start condition. Ended up finding out the pink an black wire that runs from inertia cuttoff switch to the fdpm was an open circuit for what ever reason. I did the repair swapping it out for a new harness. Can anyone help me out its been headache for a rookie :(

HI/LOW won’t stay on

Ford Mustang 2005 GT 208000 miles
My fog lights on my 05 mustang gt are really my only light source at night due to normal drl lights quitting after few seconds of being switched on. I do have some random led bulbs inside cabin and around the car here and there if that matters. I’ll turn headlight switch to the far right 2 clicks and the headlights will turn on then right away my passenger side headlight flicks off and I’ll wait 30 sec and it’ll click back on after hitting switch then again turn off. Please help. Do I need a load resistor or whatever? Take LEDs out? Wiring issue? FUSE?

Footwell fuse box

Ford Mustang 2022  45000 miles
I want to put auxiliary power into the trunk of my Mach 1 V8. When they say fuse not used does this indicate there is no power there or just not used?
If there is power at these fuses it would be ideal to send a wire to the boot/ trunk. Please advise?
