I just installed the autometer gauge cluster for my 02 mustang gt and I disconnected the posotive battery instead of the negative and I went to start the car and all the lights went crazy and the car wouldnt start and the theft light was flashing rapidly. I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes but no luck. Any suggestions?

Did you check fuses? Mine did a very similar thing when I installed my O2 eliminators. I blew the 50 amp main fuse. It may be a cheap fix.

you've activated the self destruct feature. you better park it across the street.
