No Power

1987 Ford 7.5l, in a Georgie Boy Lean Machine RV
Closest I come to this in a manual is a Eclass Van.

Battery is fully charged, cables connected, no power with or without ignition switch on. No dash, no headlights, nothing. I have no clue where to start.

Being flat broke, I am my own mechanic. Funny and not so, but I am clueless right now. I have worked on every car I have ever owned, and this RV stumps me at every turn.

Thank you.

Re: No Power

There is a bunch of fusible links by the starter relay. You should inspect those.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Re: No Power

Great, now you want to tell me where that is? I cannot find a manual that fits this engine. The one i have is not any help, I read that after I posted this morning.

The manufacturer said to check with the Ford museum as if that is a help.

Guess I am jacking this beast up and going under.

Thank you.

Re: No Power

Well, I am not going to know exactly where they would put the starter relay on a RV, but on a Ford you would follow the positive battery cable to it.

It would look something like this:

or this:

and off the post the battery cable from the battery connects would be a bunch of fusible links.

Re: No Power

That is more than anyone has been able to provide me, thank you so much. You are awesome. Now I get what I was looking at. :)

If it was a car I would have found my way by now.

Thank you again. Will let you know if I need another picture or two.

Bless you, saved me hours of search.
