Hello everybody, i just recently finished putting a drive train(5.0, T5, Aluminum driveshaft, Mass air/A9P computer) in my 1988 Convertible mustang. I got everything done, filled fluids and went to start it, and i have absolutely no power at all when i turn the key on. I am not sure where to start. Any ideas would be helpful. When i first got the car, i had to roll the window up, and i jumped the battery and everything worked then, so this leads me to believe that i must have missed hooking something important up.....

 

charge the battery?? do you not have dash lights or anything?

 

i bought a brand new battery, and also tried to jump it......There is no power at alll anywhere when the key is turned over.....i am buying a ground strap and gonna see if that will help!!!

 

Well first off, did you start with a rolling chasis or what? You say you installed the drivetrain but did you just pull and replace stuff or did you piece a car together??

 

i got the car it had a bad engine in it, and i put my engine and everything in it......When i first got the convertible, the driver window was down and i had to turn the key over, jump it and rolled the window up...now i am not getting anything when i turn the key on(no dash lights, no needles jumping, nothing)

 

Check all of your grounds
