Need Help! Turn key in my 1985 Mustang and nothing happens?

JP955.0 · 01-01-2007

I have a 85 Mustang with a 351 Windsor in it. Would'nt crank from inside when I got it. I changed from red 85 to grey 86 dash. I have no power inside the car. No lights, no ignition switch. I'm pretty sure I got all the wires hooked back up. I pulled dash back out to be sure. It will crank allday from under the hood. The guys who put the Windsor in it used the ignition module distributor.Checked module it's OK. The computer is still hooked up.

Anyone know how I could change to vaccum advance distributor? or leave module distributor in? Any ideas? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked all the wiring that you had to hook back up to the ignition. Maybe you have some wires crossed or some loose ones.

I did check all the wires. The car would'nt crank from inside when I got it.

I thought it may have been the Safety Neutral Switch wiring, because I could'nt find it to plug it back up. Then I found it and plugged it back up and still nothing!
Thanks!
