Thanks for the replies. I have been working on getting the grounds right for a few weeks now and I thought I had them all done pretty good. I'll go through them again to make sure though. I did find something else tonight. I had the ignition coil wired wrong, I am still learning about a lot of this stuff. I got the coil right and I checked for spark going to the distributor and that is good now. But the spark plugs are now fouled due to trying to crank the car with no spark. I think the clutch safety switch it bad too and that is why there is no power going to the solenoid. Can someone tell me how to bypass this clutch switch so I can check that before buying a new one. Thanks

update:
I opened up the wiring harness and tested the fuse links. They are all good. I went to the ignition switch and thested every connection on there. They all have 12V except the connection that runs to the starter relay. I get 0v there. Now all of my accessories are working except the radio and the power locks. I have power to the radio though so I will worry about that later on. What is the reason that that one port would not be recieving a signal when every other port on the switch is getting power? Please help. I feel like I am getting closer to figuring this thing out but I am still so far away. For reference I was using the wiring diagrams here http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/te...itchWiring.gif
