Ok, more problems for the stang, and i need some help. That first problem is kind of weird. It happens off and on, and right now it has been going on for nearly a week. We all know what happens when you have the door open, put the keys in the ignition, but dont turn the key. You can hear a ding ding ding that lets you know that your door is open. Well my problem is that....even with the doors shut, when i put the key into the ignition...i hear that ding ding ding sound. But like i said before, the doors are completely shut. Also, the dome light will not turn off, so i actually had to take the light bulb out. So what in the world do you think the problem is??


Second problem.....i recently bought a fidanza 3.2 clutch kit at the beginning of the year. I think the TOB is going bad already, and the clutch chatters waaaaay too much for my liking. I was wondering if i get a new clutch disk, could i leave the fidanza pressure plate in there...even if the clutch disk doesnt come from fidanza? And second, i really enjoyed the stock feel of the clutch before...so i was wondering what clutch disk i can use that has the stock feel to it....but alittle better grab would be nice. However, i want zero chatter....so i was wondering that you guys used?

The switch is on the open end side of the door and its a plunger type switch, you can really miss it it the only switch on the door.
