Reds Dead... Again!!!!
Ok, I need the gurus and thinkers on this 1 guys!!!
So, a couple weeks ago I blew a fuel line, (the top 1 on the FPR, that goes down behind the A/C pump).
So, I got it changed out no problem. However now, its dead!! Absolutely nothing... lights and guages all come on as does the radio and all other power equipment. However it will not crank for anything!!!
I've double and triple checked my work, there are not loose or disconnected wires (that I can see), batteries test good, starter tested good too, and can't find any blowin fuses....
I am at a loss, any ideas I may have missed?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Dual tanks? Maybe when switching it didn't switch all the way.
No fuel in bowl if sucking air could be clogged FPR screen or broken suction line in tank if under 1/4 tank.

I went as far as to put a new solenoid in it yesterday.

Maybe you don't have voltage to the primary side when you turn the key. If shorting it out gets it to crank that might tell you no voltage is getting to the primary when you turn the key but you'd have to check it with a volt meter. Did you track down a fuse for that yet?

I had the same problem. would really light up in the cab. No crank. Nothin. Stumped me for a bit. Removed and used a brush cleaner on battery terminals and cable ends, reinstalled and fired right off. Connections didn't look dirty but some how that did the trick.... Only happened that one time.

I understand you are desperately trying to get back on the road, but let's try to isolate the problem first, then replace parts as needed. Replacing suspect parts can make it difficult to find the source. Did you try jumping the solenoid first?
