    Grrr I hate chasing electrical problems.

    Just double checking, think I found the culprit.
    66 Mustang, I'm thinking solenoid issue.
    In short, I'm cleaning up the engine bay wiring and rerouting. After putting it back together, I went to start the car. I noticed I couldn't hear my fuel pump humming, but tried to start it anyway. It started after a good 3 seconds, but stayed on after I pulled the keys out. The starter was still spinning too. I ran around the car and unplugged the starter lead on the solenoid.

    No keys in the ignition, NO wire on 'S' (switch) post. No wires on 'I' (to protect the system)
    I am getting a full 12V out of the positive post that goes to the Starter. Like the solenoid is 'stuck' engaged. With no keys in the car. I disconnected the started cable, just to be safe. Is my solenoid fried? Been cleaning up wiring and did drop the solenoid when rerouting. Wondering if it busted inside? leaving it engaged. I don't want to fry anything.

    Check all of your grounds, make sure theyre clean and tightened down right, and not accidentaly grounding on anything extra.
    Thats the easiest thing to check 1st then work your way to the solenoid.

    It could be the opposite, it could be a lowered x-runner w/ supercharger, wide 20s, and a hydraulic ebrake.

    I have tried that twice and have not got one yet. Maybe my (not so modded yet) rig isn't worthy!

    I believe it has to do with your post count. I dont think they give out free stickers to new members with a low post count.
