Just wanna start by saying I’m very new to working on cars, especially electrical stuff. But I installed a new clutch quadrant firewall adjuster and cable in my 97 gt and after I installed it I tried to start it and nothing, I looked under the dash near the pedals and saw that the bottom on of the quadrant (right next to the cruise control safety switch) was grounding or completing a major circuit to where the car won’t start. I jumped the clutch safety switch which got the car to start but as soon as I push the clutch in the fuel pump shuts off and all the gauges on the dash turn off. Just wondering if anyone had any idea on what part of the harness is bad or if this is a common thing. Thanks
