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.
