I chacked the fuses, my voltmeter says the battery has 10 volts. No lights will come on. no ignition no nothing.

Is there something under the hood i should check?

 

You might want to check for power at the hot post on your starter. Also, isn't 10 volts a little low? I guess you should at least see some activity at that level even if it is a little low. I assume you cleaned the posts on the battery already. Can't think of anything else off the top of my head. Good luck!

 

i think i found the prob. ill have to see tommorow. starterwires

 

also check your ground wire on the motor...

i was gonna say u prolly forgot to bolt the ground wire back into the bellhousing bolt when u pulled the transmission... check that

 

I did, but it might not be making a connection. i was so sick of it last night, im figuring it out today

 

Okay, i had the big power feed and the switch wire(i think??) hooked on the same post. they are suppose to be on different posts.

 

Ignitoin switxh is a small wire that goes to a plug not a post. Ground to the frame not to the starter itself and then the pos. to the post over toward the passenger side. IIRC.

 

theres three wires

1 - big power

2 - small red one

3 - small one with plastic clip thing.

 

check the fuseable links , you might have burned one...


on the starter you need 2 wires.......the big one, and the black and yellow wire (starter solinoid)

 

It works now, but i seem to have one extra wire. ohwell

 

the xtra wire is not needed , dont worry
