I have a 2007 Mustang GT. And the past couple weeks in the Motor City, it's been under 30 degrees...and as low as 10 (for a high!).
On occasion, when starting my car, I hear this noise....
It's not the usual starter noise, which seems to be on the passenger side of the car, but a weird "static-y...Kkkrrrrrttttt" kind of sound, coming from the driver's side of the car. I thought it was a belt slipping or something, but honestly I have no idea. The noise first presented itself when the morning temps were like...8 to 10 degrees. I don't think it does it in the afternoon when temps are warmer.
After the car starts, the gauges go black for a second and then the backlight kicks back on. Also, I usually have my computer showing "Average MPG" at all times. After the car starts, it reverts to the trip odometer. It's been doing this computer thing for about 2 weeks now, and has me boggled.
Anyone have an idea of what might be the noise or why the computer is resetting to something other than my default setting?
I am going to install my CAI/Tune in about a week and I don't want to have issues with other parts.
Thanks!
