Ok so i got two questions i have a 1996 mustang gt that my reverse lights dont work and i was trying to hook it them up to a toggle switch if someone could tell me how please the reason for the toggle switch is because the fuse for the reverse lights keeps blowing and i cant find the short or where the wire is grounded so if someone can tell me how to hook them up to the toggle switch it would be great.
ok next question i have a 2001 mustang v6 that the coil pack went out so i changed it and the spark plugs and wires but its still running bad if anyone has any ides i would really like to hear them thanks to all who read this and post back.

all a motor needs to run is fuel, spark, and air. make sure it has all those and go from there. Check all plugs for the correct gap, make sure all the plugs/wires/coils are tight and not corroded. Make sure the air filter is not plugged. If one coil pack is fried most likely there are more fried. Reverse lights... start at the bulb and work your way forward. find the ground and live wire coming from the bulb.. then follow them to find the short. a Test light would be your friend there. Also some bulbs around themselves in the bulb socket.. make sure it's a tight fit and the contacts are clean/shinny.
