Just picked up a 1969 mercury Cougar - PO has replaced most wiring with aftermarket. My son reports that he took out for a maiden 3 mile voyage and the car would not even attempt to crank when he returned and attempted to restart. Aftermarket voltage gauge allegedly showing 13+ when running. He took a test light to it and found that the light lights up when he goes from negative post to anywhere on the body. Reverse polarity?
I’m going o help him look at it tomorrow. Any suggestions for where to look first? Could the solenoid or alt connections just be on incorrectly?
