The car does not have power to even do that. The battery is fine. I'm going to run some cables from the battery to a better ground to see if I get anything...

Are you sure your red B+ wire going to the starter isnt grounded out? If that was touching a ground in any way it would cause a lot of issues

yes make sure you didnt install the grounds on the starter or the B+ on with the grounds. the grounds get installed on the intake manifold

That would cause the entire car to not have electricity? I will be taking a multimeter to her later... It looks like the 10 gauge wire going to the fuse box has become disconnected, when the rubber stretched and pulled apart the corroded wire. I wont know until tonight though.

As for the grounds, I rewired it exactly as it was before I touched it, but there were no grounds running to the manifold...

Ya it wouldn't work if you did this. he's probably right.

Edit. It doesn't have to be grounded to the mani.
It just seems to be s.o.p. .

There are no ground leads off the starter, it grounds itself though the transmission bell housing
