There's a lot of electronic control in this car enabled by a network and not by direct (simple) wiring. I looked at the schematic, and if you were missing power to make the switches work, there would be a LOT of things not working.
Thanks for the explination.

Everything works right now including the power seats, however theres no audible or physical reaction when pressing the memory buttons, in park on/off or otherwise. Looking behind the door panel is something i might do on the weekend, but since the car is still under warranty I might go that route first. Curious why the cig lighter fuse popped. its been working since I replaced the mini atm fuse so theres no short.

Thanks.

Just bought the whole owners manual set off ebay.

What about a spare key or fob? Dealer only situation?

Pretty much. There are some locksmiths who can register a new key, but the sure fire way is at the dealership.

So its almost been two months of ownership, and ive done a few asthetic mods like a grill and personalized front plate. I also put some bigger meats on the wheels. Been searching for a used Joe Z exhaust or was planning on buying some sikky or PPE headers, which ever came up first.
Well thanks to some luck and my persistancy, M3twof(Charlie)sold me his practically flawless JoeZ exhaust. I picked it up on Saturday and we hung out for a while. Hes got a lot of great parts for sale and is a great guy too.

Im going to hit up the track as soon as it opens to get a 1/4 mile stock baseline, then do some before and after exhaust dynos on the local Mustang dyno.
