So yesterday i was going to turn the mustang around and start gutting the stock stereo/speakers to put my system in when the car doesn't start. I just got a new battery so i know its not that, but i tightened all the wires n checked connections everything looks fine.

I turned on the overhead lights inside, and my friggin blinker comes on. Has anyone experienced this before, or do any of you have any idea wth is wrong? Im hoping this is somehow a blown fuse and not some crazy ECN/cross wire issue.

When i try to start the car, theres nothing until the starter "click"

Did you disconnect the battery before tinkering w/the stereo?

You might need go and test each fuse w/a multimeter, pain in the butt, yeah, that sucks. Burns posted a lot electrical testing info here so you might want to do some thread search for time purposes on the fuse testing. My guess is the PATS and or some battery drain thats not obvious.
Sounds like something grounding out if the blinker comes on.
Find the fuse for the mulit switch and the over head light. The multi switch is a relay in itself.

Its a fuse!! My friend just kinda experienced this problem, if you would hit his window switches his outside headlights and foglights would turn on, its got to be a fuse if your 100 percent confident in your wiring
