Ford Mustang -Door wiring problem Sign In

I tried to change the door hinge on my pony. I disconnected the battery so that it wouldn't make the beeping noise, than I opened up the panel from the inside and found a huge wire harness there. I moved the harness to a side to screw the hinge bolt off, so anyway that's not the point. I put everything back and connected the battery, usually the the alarm shots off by opening the doors by remote, but now the doors are opening and closing, but the alarm is still on. I don't know if I damaged some of the wires, a brown wire looks like it ripped of, but I couldn't find where it was connected to. Please help.

Ok, now you've got your own new thread. What year is this Mustang? If you found a pulled wire with no where to go I suggest looking harder for the other end,

the car is 1995. on the tip of the wire was a glue from electric tape, so it might be hidden, there was another wire that was never connected so maybe the brown one was too. What does a brown wire stands for?

by the way those wires are not on the door, I opened up the panel underneath the steering wheel.

finally I fixed itSly the brown wire wasn't the problem, there was a red wire that detached from another bigger wire, but was still under the electric tape, thats why I couldn't see it, so after checking it over today i ripped it out and found where it came from. Finally I wrapped it around the other wire and everything started to work normally.

That’s good you found the problem and posted the fix; you posting the fix may help someone else in the future.

Just one word of caution thou; you said.

I wrapped it around the other wire


You should maybe take that connection apart again and solder or use solderless crimp-on connectors to rejoin that red wire to where it came off.
If that connection you made by wrapping it around the other becomes loose, it could cause it to become hot & burn.
Not only causing your problem to return but possibly burn the wiring harness; worse yet the whole car.
