Help Hurry

problem with my dads 86 F-150 300-I6 4 spd manual. no power to anythin at all? the battery was fine but we did have the doors open for like 1.5 hrs and i dont think that would matter cuz none of the interior lights worked before anyhow, what could it be? its not the starter solenoid either cuz we put a new one in. is there a possibility of some fuses fried? the headlights or starter or anything do not work not even the stereo

Go over to the starter relay. On the large post that hooks to the battery +, there should be smaller wire(s) that hook there too. This smaller wire powers the whole truck. Follow the wire and right at the end, or somewhere along it's path you will find a colored rubber thing. This is a fusible link. Pull on it, and check it to see if it's burnt. If you were doing some electrical work, and did not disconnect the battery, then that's probably what it is.

Go to the store and buy a new one, and splice it in the wire.
