2024 Ford Mustang GT won't restart after replacing spark plug & removing fuse box

[josemanuel]

I need help. I saw that there was an oil leak and started checking everything on the car, the problem was one of the spark plugs had oil, checked the seals one of the seals was broken therefore I ordered the seal and replaced it. Had to remove the fuse box as it was on the way, and all the necessary hoses. Once I placed everything back, the car won't crank, the lights inside the car are turning on but the car won't start. Do I have to reprogram it with a computer or what do I need to do, I am double checking all the wires right now.

I don't understand. These new S650's come with a warranty, so why aren't issues like this being taken care of by the dealer, for free?????

You have a 2024, there is no way you are out of warranty and should need to fix these issues yourself.

Try to remove the leads to the battery and reset things.

Well this car was supercharged and there is no warranty on it and its a brand new car, they installed the whipple on it

So you bought a brand new 2024 Mustang GT with a supercharger and NO warranty whatsoever? Yikes!

The dealership sold you a supercharged 2024 with no warranty?
Damn man, you're a brave soul. What if they installed it incorrectly, and it blew up leaving the parking lot?

Start simple, make sure all the wires are properly connected, battery leads are tight.. etc

If the fuse box was removed does it loose its programming? All cables ate connected, battery was taken off 2 days ago and is reading 11.8 amps just started to charge it will let it charge for 3 hours see what it does

Installing a Whipple doesn't void the warranty unless the Whipple directly caused that part to fail.

No.

The car was running until we removed the fuse box, battery and took off the valve cover replaced the spark plug valve seal, installed everything back and the car just wont start, checked the fuses, charging battery right now.

I assume you meant 11.8 volts?
If so that is low, let us know what happens after you charge it.

From experience, bad grounds will ruin your day, best to just check things over.

Thank you everyone it was fuse box it was not sitting correctly, the car is up and running

... battery ... is reading 11.8 amps

I think you mean volts, not amps ... LOL.

That battery is close to completely discharged if you're only reading 11.8V at rest.

the wipple has a 3 year warranty if Ford or ASE installed it. But if you spent $10k on a supercharger and installed it in a $50k car but tried to save a few bucks by doing it yourself. That might not have been a good idea.

Glad to hear it was just box/battery. What made you look, was it dripping off the tray leaving spots or ?
