My cars lights and turn signals all quit workin on me currrently i am startin my mustang through the postive on the coil to the + on the cellinoid i took the wire off the cellinoid the kill the engine to fill her up with gas i then put it back on and all the electronic components stoped working my fan works the horn works my windshield stopped with the lights and everything what do i need to do to fix this?

here are pics of my cellinoid

 

anyone offer some advice ?

 

damn it looks like a electical nightmare! make sure you dint pop a fuse..or all of them!!! that would be my first guess...

 

Can my cellinoid be bad? cuz the electrical components do not work at all with the engine off and with the engine on !!!!!!!!

 

The solenoid is only for transmitting power from the batter to the starter when activated. It also provides a 12V source to your coil to help you start up (if it's a 4 post, 2 big and 2 little). I'd make sure the wiring on the solenoid is correct. One wire will go to the solenoid and will only have power with the key is in the 'start' position. Plug this one onto the 'S' terminal. Looks like you have one for ignition, which goes from the 'i' terminal to the coil. The cable between the solenoid and starter should be the only one on the back of the solenoid (towards the rear of the car). All constant 12V feeds should be on the battery side of the solenoid.

 

There is an instrument voltage regualtor behind the dash. This can be a common problem but I am not sure if it controls the headlights or not. Some of these smarter guys may know the answer.

 

Might want to do as the others have suggested already..fuses, get wiring corrected on the solenoid, etc. The headlight switch may be your problem at this point...take it off, check for burn marks and clean it up or replace it.

 

Ok il do that then then fuse box underneath the dash right that would be the problem?

 

Yeah, the fuse box is above the kick panel on the driver's side. You seem to have too many wires running to your solenoid. Since solenoids are so cheap, I would get a new one and make sure it is wired correctly. Here is a pic of mine.

I just went into town and got a new solenoid can you give me an idea as to what wires connect on the 4 posts? i know the one for the starter already any diagram would help
