I have a 1983 bronco with the inline 6 replaced fuel pump the other day and now it won’t start turn key on lights come on but once I turn it to attempt to start the power cuts off any ideas what wire I knocked loose in the process

Hey Ccarder,
Sounds really simple, but check your battery cables. Make sure theres no corrosion between the posts snd the clamps.
If thats good, check where the pos cable connects to the solenoid in the fenderwell.
Good luck
Cheers

Cuts power, So head lights go out too?
Or try cranking engine with headlights on. If the headlights go out, you have a connection issue somewhere.

Also, have you tried with a set of jumper cables? What happens then?
