Ok, first I'm just learning about vehicles and how they work and how to fix them so if something I am asking doesn't make sense, I'm really sorry. LOL

So I have a 1976 Ford E250 with a 460 interceptor. It has been running perfectly fine. This winter we took the battery out and stored it. When we went to put the battery back in it I have NOTHING.. No lights, no starting, no anything...the battery has been tested and it is perfectly fine. It's actually better than the one in my main vehicle!

I have been researching everything I could..my son tried bypassing the solenoid with screwdrivers and nothing. He tried bypassing it with jumper cables, and when he put the positive cable onto the far post on the solenoid it started cranking over. That is the only sign of life we have seen. So we bought a new solenoid thinking that was the problem, and nothing. Same problem.

I'm pretty lost at what the next step to look for would be and any help would be greatly appreciated.
