Raptor Shiftlight Install?

csledd · 12-01-2005, 05:04 PM

Anybody have their own write up on this? the one off of their website makes me mad. My check engine light keeps coming on after installing it and I emailed me and he said he's almost positive it's not the light that's causing it. well wtf.. I take it off and the SES is off. The code it throws says the fuel pump is disabled when obviously it's not

I feel your pain and wish I could help. I just think it is soo cool that a chick uses "wtf".

csledd · 12-01-2005, 05:09 PM

well the light is freaking awesome.. it works GREAT.. the only problem is it trips my SES light!

stangspeed · 12-01-2005, 06:44 PM

So its sounds like they didnt offer you much support...

That suxs. I read another post thats the same thing was happening. There has to be someone out there that knows why this happens, and what the fix is.

csledd · 12-01-2005, 06:56 PM

well he did tell me something to try.. which the light has 2 different wires, he basically told me to hook just 1 up and see if it threw the code.. unfortunately I don't have the time to do this right now.

stangspeed · 12-01-2005, 09:32 PM

K. Let me know what happens...Good Luck...

MattJ · 12-01-2005, 09:39 PM

Where are you tapping the wires?

I have a 5" sports comp monster tach with a shift light built in.

http://www.mustanghowto.com/interior...ft%20Light.htm This link has more detail than the Raptor site.I'm looking at one of these also so keep us all informed.Thanks.

Chopper · 12-05-2005, 10:11 AM

Has anyone tried the ins.from the site I recommended?I'm curious about this because I'm looking at getting one of these also and if there's any installation problems I'd like to know before buying.Bump

Well then I'm going to wait or get an Autometer.Maybe Raptor will see this and work out some directions that won't cause CEL's.This is why I write in to these sites.This thread has possibly saved me and lots of others a big PITA.Thanks to csledd and all the other posters.

I have 1 in my car and love it, I never had any problems with the light except my fuel gauge keeps on going down everytime my shift light goes off at 5800 rpms

I bought 1 for my brother for his saleen and we can't get it to work right

when the key is turned on it flashes "test" than when you start the car it keeps on flashing really quick

I need to call rick so he can help us troubleshoot this thing. But the light gets 2 thumbs up from me.

bikerjoe · 02-21-2006, 12:16 PM

just installed mine ...took about 25 mins and i gotta say this thing is so damn cool!!!

i have the black with red leds and there even bright during the day!

great mod!!

04MustangGT · 02-21-2006, 12:20 PM

I have one and dont have any problems. My light has never come on. I dont really know how to explain the directions with the exact word but I sure can try. I dont have any pictures either. But if you PM me I will get off my lazy ass and do it.
