“When turning my A/C on and turning the steering wheel the car makes noises! What do you guys think this can be? It only happens when the A/C is on. A/C functions perfectly, ice cold. and steering is nice and light.”

Sounds like classic slipping belt symptoms. Have you tried the bar-of-soap fix? If the noise goes away, you’ve found the issue.

 

Easiest way I can think of to verify which BG wire goes where is to check for continuity with a multimeter between the Oil Pressure switch and connector PI041 pin 16. Please the various pictures below, I believe connector PI041 is the black cube connector I have pictured below, if so, do I disconnect it by unscrewing the silver bolt on top? Not trying to break anything! Thanks






Is this connector PI041?? If so how do you disconnect it? Do you undo the silver bolt on top? Thanks, don't want to break anything and cause further issues!

That would make it such as the second wire is merely a jumper to another connector.

 

Fixed the wiring, didn't even need to use the multimeter as the Oil Pressure has a thick black/green wire and the Engine Temp Sensor has a skinny black/green and yellow wire. Waiting on parts to fix the other issues!

For the headlights, I believe the ballast is out. New ballast will be arriving tomorrow

 

If the ballast does not work check the ground wire behind front tire. Ground stud known to break off located on inner wheel well.

 

Replaced the ballast and the light bulb on the LH side. Low beam works now. I replaced the D1S bulbs on both sides of the car to have a matching pair of color temperature but the RH side is much brighter then the LH side. But for now that will have to do as I move on to the other issues.

 

Might be a bad earth if you haven't checked it.

 

See post 25, located behind the shock on inner wheel well. While it is obviously attached it still could be sketchy.

 

Do you have to take of the wheel well liner? or is this ground point accessed from the engine bay? I'll have a look later today thanks!

 

Wheel well stays put. Right behind the shock. See "07 Xkr headlights" in the X150 section for a photo. I tried to link it but no luck.

 

Changed the front wheel speed sensor, it fixed the ABS fault, no more light!
I also changed the hood switch with this part which was a direct replacement. $17 which is a few dollars cheaper then the Jaguar version, the original part has a Ford part number but I was unable to find the part. And the Fexon I bought was the most affordable I found.

Getting a set of new tires put on today, hopefully it fixes the TPS lights.

 

Hope you mean new TPMS sensors too. All else has been sorted?

 

New tires, no more TPMS sensor lights, didn't need to purchase new sensors! Only light on the dash is the airbag light now. I have to go over my list of issues again but I believe I took care of everything. Thanks for everyone's help!
Windshield wipers aren't functioning actually, found this out last night. Will have to take a look into those, I wasn't able to find anything regarding them in the forums though.

The car also has an aftermarket exhaust that I find somewhat annoying

 

Unless the previous ones didn’t hold air causing the TPMS to warn you of their failure, I’ve never heard of new ones making old non working sensors work again.

 

Got my tires replaced at Discount Tire, not sure what they did besides put new tires on but they gave me back the car with no more TPMS lights. Originally I was getting the low air light on both rear tires.

 

It seems Discount Tire learned from another member’s dilemma. Glad she’s coming together for you.
