LT's, x pipe, magnapacks...... can't seem to figure out why shit is rattling apart.
Common issues with the 13's and 14's ?
- Thread starter CobraG
- Start date
And the drivers side O2 sensor has gone bad again. 
Not really an issue, but I just realized that my hood is not magnetic. Tried to hang a small magnetic light from it and it wouldn't stick.
The only thing metal is the hood latch and the small area around it. I've had it for 4 years in March never realizing this.
edit: Nevermind just found out the hoods are aluminum. Anyone know when they started to use aluminum for Mustang hoods?

weight savings of course! crazy thing is when people go to a fiberglass hood, usually its a HEAVIER hood... lolol
I bought my 14’ in November of last year, car has 41k miles on it. Weekend after I bought it my wipers starting randomly coming on when the car was cold, I pulled the fuse and figured I’d pick up a new switch later as I don’t drive it in the rain. In late January I took it to pick up my son from wrestling practice and the heater blower fan wouldn’t come on.
In the last few days I’ve noticed the cooling fans are running non stop, even when the car is cold. I’m pretty bummed as this is my fifth mustang and I had saved and looked forward to getting back into a newer stang after playing with new edges and foxes for a while.

Wonder when they went to aluminum, I was surprised thought for sure it was metal.
NO vibrating mirror
NO problem with bumper cover
NO splash shield problems
NO problems with hoses / no zipties
NO wheel well liners loose
NO bad O2 sensors
NO problems with idle

The only problem I've had is that the rear tires tend to wear-out pretty fast ;-)
Aluminum is metal, it's just a non-ferrous metal (has no iron/steel). Ford has been using aluminum hoods for a very long time. I don't know when they started, but my 1998 Crown Victoria has an aluminum hood too. So have my past Mustangs.
Metal I meant steel, was just surprised, my 89 has a steel hood but we're going back a few years.
Pretty sure the SN95 (94-98) were fiberglass.
The SN95 hoods you are referring to are considered composite plastic.
The hoods are a PE plastic resin reinforced with 20% glass fibers. Not a typical fiberglass formula.
Some of the SN95s came with a conventional steel hood, but most were composite to my knowledge.

Just recently discovered another issue, the dash goes in between the white and the selected color. I have it set to green, then out of the blue it goes white, then after a bit back to green. The other ambient lights maintain the green but the gauges don't.
Sounds like she was a stunt back up car in midnight chase movie...
Recently found a catch-all solution to these 13-14 woes. I bought a 1988 Mustang GT a couple of months ago. It's my "project" car but I have been driving it occasionally on weekends. Now every time I'm in my 2014, it feels like a Lexus.
Update on mine, wiper motor was bad and the passenger compartment fuse was blown for the blower motor. Cooling fans do seem to run unnecessarily so I’m going to dig into that next.

I too notice the fan coming on and the engine isn't anywhere near operating temp.

Could be a tune issue.
I have the Track Cal Ford Racing tune.
have you tried loading the stock tune back in? tested to see if it still does it?
No I have not, I will give this a shot.
