look at this cheesy Ford repair.this is directly from ford


Ford

Popping noise from floor. 

 

Some1999-2000 Mustangs may produce a

popping or crackling sound from the

area of the driver’s-side floor while

being driven. According to Ford, the

noise sounds similar to a soda can being

crushed, and is caused by a

stressed portion of the floor pan

buckling and unbuckling from the

movement of the car. Peening the

floor pan with a blunt hammer should

help eliminate the irritation.

Start the job by disconnecting the

battery ground cable, then waiting at

least two minutes to allow the residual

voltage in the air bag module to

time out. Now peel back the carpeting

from the driver’s-side footwell

area. Next, measure 6 to 8 in. behind

where the driver’s heel would normally

rest when operating the accelerator

pedal. This is the area that

needs your attention.

Working carefully, smack the floor

with the hammer until you leave a

small indentation in the metal. Continue

working across the floor until

you’ve formed about a 1-in. trough,

or bead, in the pan. This should unstress

the floor pan and alleviate the

buckling that causes the popping

sound. To complete the fix, reinstall

the carpeting, reconnect the battery

cable and take to the open road to

verify that the noise has been eliminated.

Well you know the old saying, If you can't fix it with duct tape or a hammer, it must be electrical.

i thought it was all about stealing... i mean making money.  they could give them a hammer and put it in a pleather case with the mustang logo on it and charge the customer $100.  and people will buy it... not only for the TSB but on the collectability factor lol

I worked at a factory that made the passenger side doors, body side, and tailgate for the GM U-Van (Lumina, Trans-port, Silhouette). We made those parts from start up to finish of vehicle run. I had to laughwhen I read an article in a magazine that tested all 3 vans and said 2 out of the 3 had a rattle in the passenger side front door. I knew what it was. The door would hang on a conveyor and was held steady by a 6" spring loaded clip. The proper way to remove the door was to remove the clip then lift the door off. Usually though we would just force the door off and the clip would fall inside the door.

I also had to laugh at the commercials that said to ask for genuine GM parts. The parts we would send out for body repair were parts that would not pass quality control but we fixed with bondo and such.
