Hello, I have a 86 Mustang and the blower for the defroster was working just find.. Now after I changed out the battery , cables and starter solenoid does not work.. I dont know if I bumped something loose.. I have a Haynes service manual , but it is vey vague.. I dont even know what fuse to look for... If I have to will go get a ohms meter... Any help would be great...

Vacuum Diagram 87-93 Mustangs
The diagram says 88 Mustang, but except for the vacuum line connected to the MAP/Baro sensor, it is the same for all 5.0 Mustangs from 87-93. The 89-93 Mustangs vent the MAP/Baro sensor to open air.

The symptoms could also be caused by a faulty ignition switch. The switch has been known to separate or the wiring can become disconnected. The link should give you an idea of what to look for.

Replace a 1979-1993 Ignition Switch Assembly
