Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I bought a 1965 T-Bird resently I got it running. Two days later after changing the oil and
tranmission fluids. Two days later I went out to start the car and there was no power to the
ignition or any of the warning lights. The following did work, head lights, horn, interior
lights, dash lights, light dimmer etc. I didn't work or touch any of the wiring that would
cause the problem.

Check your gound cable from your battery and recheck all your work that you did two days ago.

Check the cables at the starter itself. Mine had only 2 strands of cable connecting it. New cable and it starts fine

Hello, I finally got my t bird running and going down the road. I have one more problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. According to the schematics the gauges have a common connection and that would be the constant voltage regulator located behind the speedometer. I replace it but still have the same problem of the temp, fuel and oil pressure gauges all read to the right when the ignitions so turned on. Any ideas of where I can look next?

I have a 97 Thunderbird, When I turn on the car it will turn and there seems to be a screeching sound. And then it won't turn on. However it will turn on after I turn the key 2-4 times. Once it's on it runs awesome, it's just the start up that sounds bad. The starter has already been replaced so I don't think that's the problem, but again I'm not a mechanic so I can't say for sure. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 2 answers

I have a 2003 Ford Thunderbird. It has been sitting all winter in the garage and I forgot to start it. Now, when I start it, it starts quickly then shuts down quickly and the horn blows. 2 answers
The steering wheel moves, the door locks work, the dials on the dash work, but the engine shuts down and the horn blows. I have charged the battery. What could it be?
