1990 F250 electrical problems
My 1990 F250 has electrical problems after changing the battery. The truck runs, the head and tail lights work, the dash instuments work. However the power windows, windshield wipers, radio and fan now don't work. I am also getting a warning light on the dash saying the rear anti-lock brakes are not working. Any ideas as I am at a loss.

The fusable link seems okay as the truck starts and the headlights and tail lights work. I can't see any other fusable link

I would check the downstream side of all fuses in the truck first, with a volt meter.
