Ok I put in a new tranny t5 in a 80 mustang. As I was putting it all together I got the starter in and turned it over a few times to make sure the teeth wouldn't grind since I changed the flywheel. Everything worked fine then so I disconnected the battery again and continued to put the exhaust, driveshaft, etc... back in.
Got it all done and went to turn it over and it did for about a second then nothing. Thought it was a dead battery as I was using a work light using battery power. Come to find out the battery was fine. So I turned the key forward and the brake warning light comes on then slowly dies out then no power till I turn back the key then back forward again and again the light slowly dies out. If I turn the key to on the quickly to start she will turn over all day long but no fire. If I stop turning it over the power is gone till I turn the key back then forward again.
Also whats odd is I turn the headlights on and the brake warning light comes on not the headlights. Its the same when I push the brake pedal no brake lights just the warning light. And same with the flashers the warning light flashes. Why that warning light? I didn't touch any electrical except the one to disconnect from the starter.
Ive got something very wrong here and cant figure it out. Everything worked just fine 1 hour before hand so what could have happened?
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thanks,
Tyler
