Help!!!!! anyone who knows wiring

[jewele]

Need help with wiring on my sons 1987 2.3L A/c included,Having problems with the engine not shutting down and the battery not getting charged. I replaced the solenoid,starter,modual brain all that good stuff no i still have the problem it started when i had someone do the work he said i need all these things then he cut wires near the solenoid thinking that was the problem he couldnt remember where the wires went then hard wired my fuel pump wow i have problem

is it pre ignition? when you turn the key off the motor stays running?

 

[jewele]

thats one of the problems also the battery is not getting charged not sure what u mean on pre ignition

 

[1QWKVERT]

HOLY HELL!! thats one hell of a wiring job.

First off, why are they cut?
2nd, wires should not be twisted like that and exposed to moisture.
3rd, find out where thos cut wires go, the ones that arent connected.

Then get back to me.

If possible can you send a picture a mustang wiring diagram like i have posted. thanks for the help my friend tried to wire the car, i guess he didnt get it right.

I could sell you the pig tails to rewire and an entire diagrams to do everything.

I'll label and write out a detailed description of where they go and tag each wire.

Hey Jewele,
I'm not sure exactly where in putnam you are located? 1QWKVERTS Offer doesn't sound bad looking at the mess you have on your hands.If it would help I've had a gang of foxbodies over the years including an 87 2.3L lx convertible.That said I have an 1988(same as 87) Mustang Electrical & Vacuum trouble shooting manual That you can borrow if you would like? It should be very helpful. This is a Ford shop manual,The same one the dealer used to fix these cars when they were new or came in for service.Let me know.



Off topic 1QWKVERT, Randall is that you? I'll assume so. I tried your cell phone last weekend?I'm still interested in taking a ride over to buy some fox body parts.I definately can not do it this weekend though. Perhaps the following week or weekend? Let me know Thanks,Malcolm
