my mistake..

age takes a toll on one's brain.......hooked up the jumper cables the wrong way..seen a spark while hooking up the last one.......put them back the right way and now I get no result anywhere....
Is there a fuse or a re set button ??

It is a 2008 E150 w/ a 5.0 V8

thank you.

More than likely a fusible link has blown. They are rubber colored things in the main feed wires that feed the fuse boxes under the hood and under the dash. If you get a testlight and poke around the underhood fuse box, and most of it is dead, then you will have to find the fusible link and replace it. Sometimes they are burnt looking but most of the time you can pull on them. If they stretch like a rubber band they are burnt in two.

You have a later model vehicle, but if Ford kept the same formula they always used, the main power comes off one of the large terminals on the starter solenoid/relay, and the fusible links are not very far away from that spot.
