i dont see a picture but i would say check your engine fuse box, and look at a wiring diagram of the starting system. i had a battery explode in my mustang not to long ago and i did alot of that sort of work.

i would think of having it towed to the shop before any further damage is done. you are dealing with electrical system and that's not something to play or guess with.

I'm trying to fix the heater in my 1966 Ford Mustang, and I read in an answer on here concerning the switches for the heater "Also all 3 of those control levers are hooked to cables. Look under the dash and check to make sure those cables are connected and not broken. Sometimes they stiffen up and break."
