Being in your situation I would pull the codes and see if anything is stored.??
Did the battery go completley dead?, if not, it may have held the codes...Good place to start anyway....

The dome light, windows, and door locks have nothing to do with the computer...I would say the problem is a little deeper than that...

Check your fuses.... it could be as simple as a pinched harness wire.

I knew there was a reason the car was being sold so quickly.

 

[5literstang]

do u mean the fuses in the engine bay? and when the guy was doin my car and the check engine light came on he scanned the computer and it came up "no code" he said my computer could be messed up and he said u should look into gettin a new one. thanks guys

 

[tmoss]

Sounds like you lost power - gonna have to check the fuse links, fuses and ignition switch over real good!

What you just described was the same thing that happened to me when my alternator went bad and the battery died. I had to replace both the alternator and battery before the car would run.

Just tryin to help. I dunno if this is necessraily your problem but the guages were a giveway.

 

[5literstang]

i see but i didn't think the speedo and tach would just stop working. thanks for all the replies, my friend jsut called me back and he said it was the alternator. so i should get it back tomororw (i know i said that some other time before lol)

Wasn't the other shop your parent’s friend too? With friends like that who the hell needs enemies. J/K good luck with this one and I will def. check back tomorrow.

my friend jsut called me back and he said it was the alternator

Hmmmm....that's gotta make you wonder.

Good to hear your friend figured it out. Now go to the track and get some times out of the new motor.

and when the guy was doin my car and the check engine light came on he scanned the computer and it came up "no code" he said my computer could be messed up and he said u should look into gettin a new one.

so that means he took your good comp, sold it on ebay, and threw in one he found laying around the shop that they used as a puck to play broom hockey...

so it sounds like u have a little too much money floating around... is the reason ur car stayed in the shop for so long b/c your parents are a little lax when it comes to certain things... i mean, no offence, i wish my parents were rich, i just know some people who aren't as anal as me when it comes to money and would tell their kid to shuttup if it would appease their relationship with another rich friend

No body mentioned ground. Check all your grounds especially under the hood. You have a 306 that means your engine has been out.
