AIH.
Unless you live in California or Alaska it can be removed. Only activates after the glow plugs have cycled off, and the parking brake light is on. Supposed to help with any white smoke during cold weather idling. But usually by the time the glow plugs are off there's no visible fuel vapors anyways

That ground is ONLY for the intake heater.
There is a ground strap bolted on the back of the right (passenger side) cylinder head that connects to the firewall behind the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor above the HVAC case.

What year model is the truck? The 02 03 models have the main power lug on the driver's inner fender that likes to rot in two and kill power to the fuse panel. The earlier models have the fusable links over by the passenger battery that could be blown.

If it's a 99-01 and you put new engine harness on it bet you got the power wires mixed up at starter relay on fender. That's where the cab gers power from.

In that pic the big black with orange stripe in the background is the main power feed to cab. It turns to 2 fusible links right tbere. It should be hooked to 12v all the time lug on the starter relay. Is it in place? Hard to tell from that picture.
