    check the fuseable link. mine grounded when i went to start after the rebuild. also check the battery cables, might be loose.

    The cable you speak of is a body ground. Check and clean the connections on both ends of your battery cables. Something is probably just loose or dirty

    Sure sounds like a bad ground.Clean all connections, run another separate ground if needed,just to make sure.Good luck
