My 1965 ford thunderbird doesnt start up.
i rebuilt the carborator because that was the main problem, but now it seems as if theres an electrical problem.
when I sit in my car I notice some parts of the interior car lights wont turn on anymore. And then the battery just dies and I need to recharge it.
does anyone know what could be wrong with it? And how much would it cost to get it repaired?

Its not that i've already tried it.
Some times lights in the car automatically turn on without the key in the ignition switch.
And then the battery eventually dies out.
