marquettefan247 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Hey guys, I know its been a while since ive been on here, but I have a question. Ok so I recently installed a system in a 1998 ford F-150. I did the power wire on the right side (passenger) signal on the left(driver). I made sure everything was good all tight and all. So about a week later I get a call that some of the gauges take longer to come on the dash like the odometer and all. I didn't know what it was figured it was no big deal. Then now I hear that the 4 wheel drive wont switch. I hear its probably something electrical with the switch. Is this something the system did? how would I go about fixing something like this?

huh?do-what? Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 did you mount any amps to the floor? did you mount it under the drivers seat? Quote God damn its hot today. My balls are stuck to my leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huh?do-what? Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I meant to ask if you grounde it under the seat. I saw a guy install an amp under the seat of a 2001? Ranger with 4 wheel drive. Amp got mounted under driver seat. Transmission acted up. Dealership claimed screw was run through wiring for transmission. Never found out for sure. Quote God damn its hot today.
