2003 ford f250 6.0 diesel. No power to anything

2003 ford f250 6.0 diesel. Have no power to anything, dash, lights, nothing. happened after disconnecting batteries to clean posts. Was cleaning posts because engine would crank but not start all while making a loud clicking at the relays in under-dash fuse panel.

this just happened today, after putting in a new radio and messing with the settings with truck off for around 30 mins. Batteries have been fully charged(which didnt seem low at all in anyway, windows lights etc) and hooked up correctly, no blown fuses or disconnected wires that i can see. is it possible that a relay could be stuck??

Sounds like a bad connection on the fuse links. You may be able to find a YouTube video on the subject.

I think what happens is that you're burning out the compressor. If you got the windows down while you're blowing the a/c? it's working over time which is why they have two cycles. The image that displays the circle motion is meant for the windows to be up and the charge will last longer and with the windows down...click the one that shows outside air coming into the car. It might not be as cold as the other option but at least you'll have some cool air while you're at it.

SOURCE: my 79 ford 9000 dump truck has no power after the

There is a solenoid mounted in the engine compartment, usually on the driver or passengers side on the inside of the fender that allows full battery current to reach the starter. Assuming the starter is good, you can test this terminal with a test light, there should be four connections on it. One is just a ground, some of them dont even have a ground, the unit is self grounded. The other small terminal on it is power from the accessory, or key (ignition) switch. Use a test light to check for power at this terminal. You should have no power when the key is off, and you should have full power (12 volts) when the key is turned all the way to start (as if you were cranking the vehicle). If this tests okay, try jumping across the other two terminals (they are both bigger than the first i described). One comes from the positive side of the battery, the other leads to the starter. Turn the key to the "on" position, and use a piece of heavy gauge wire to "jump" across the terminals. Caution: this is a bit hazardous, use good judgment, and be aware that leaving a wire on there could cause the wire to burn, or something to catch fire. All you want to do is tap the wire across, and see if the starter attempts to turn. Most likely, it will. You'll need to disconnect the batteries, and buy and install another solenoid. Just be sure the new one is connected as the old one is. Any other issues, please feel free to contact me back.

Thanks for asking!

SOURCE: battery good power to the starter 2000 ford

#1 Try starting the car in Neutral, if no start replace the Park and Neutral safty switch. #2 Check for a faulty starter solenoid. #3 Check for a faulty stsrter motor. #4 Check for a faulty ignition switch. #5 Check for faulty starter Relays.#6 Check the Transmission Range sensor it could be out of adjustment or defective. #7 On 1998 and later models, the power relay is in the power distribution box in the engine compartment. Refer to your owners manual for more information on relay location. Good Luck From Ernie @ RedDeer, Alberta, Canada.

Got 2003 turbo diesel ford transit auto trans, I replaced both batteries n now when I go to start the van the Reds turn on n nothing, gear selector is no longer registerin n not a single click is made

If the dash lights do not come on:

The most common cause of this is loose battery connections. The battery is located underneath the driver's seat. Turn the ignition to the on position and slide the driver's seat forward. The battery is concealed with a plastic flap, remove the flap. Check the tightness of the two terminals while looking at the dash, if the dash lights up, then you know what the problem was. ·

If the dash lights are coming on and the vehicle makes no attempt to start:

The most common cause is the starter motor terminals. These can overheat and fuse. This type failure is very sudden and shows no warning signs. The only cure is a replacement starter motor.

I have a 2003 ford f350 7.3 diesel lariat 4x4 the other day fuse number 45 blew it has done this before it kills the gauges and gas pedal and a few other things I think... well it is supposed to take a 10a...

It seems that there is a battery draw that is shorting out the fuse. you need to trace the wire back to the point of power and see what is going on. My theory would be that some place in the power out (from the fuse) it is grounding to the chassis. I wouldn't even be able it give you and idea where to start considering how many wires there are, but if you can isolate that wire and chase it back to the cluster and the gauges you will find the issue.
