05 E350 6.0 with frame mounted batteries, I installed new batteries after the van sat for a few months and I get no power to vehicle (key turn, headlights, starter, ect) batteries appear to be good. The alldata schematic is pretty bad, Im hoping someone here has some insight. Is there a main fuse between the batteries and the under hood fuse panel?

There is a fusible link that runs from the starter relay (?) on the passenger side behind the battery, to the under hood fuse box. Measure the voltage at the relay and again at the fuse box. If it’s open replace it with the same color and length pieces off fusable link wire. Don’t use regular wire.

Total stupidity on my part, my new batteries had been sitting for a few months and I wanted to verify there charge before going through the hassle of installing them. So I had them sitting on wood blocks under the van and the chassis ground was not long enough so I put a jumper cable between battery negative and frame. Probably dident have a good bite because the van fired right up after I literally touched the jumper cable. But good to know about the fusible link thx

Have you tried checking your ground? Touch your multimeter pos to the battery pos post. Touch the neg feed to the frame. Should read the same voltage as the battery. If it isn't, you have a bad ground.
If it does move the pos probe down the line and keep checking for that 12v ish reading

If you do the test Lilnuts2 suggested, operate the vehicle (create a load)...current flow is much more sensitive to exposing weak grounds. A failed ground would show up in a static test...

Check all of your OEM Grounds. And only use one Battery to test. if you have a dead cell in one of your bats it will also do this.. Likely you have a bad Ground. Look under your Cross member under your oil pan. Fords OEM Ground on the gassers runs to a Bolt their.. On my 1996 it was never ever tightened. it took about 10 years to arc through the bolt that was not tightened on a Friday . ITs always good to do the Big 3 wire upgrade to your grounds anyway.
