NEED SOME THOUGHTS PLEASE
i just replaced the positive main battery cable and the negative on the passenger side and now have no power to anything on my dash,lights, key on etc. on my 00 7.3l. I used a test light from the drivers side negative post and check all the fuses in the engine fuse box and have nothing there either. I used the oem cable on the positive cable that I replaced and hooked all the wires where the old ones were and made a new ground from the block to the frame? I am totally stumped and dont know where to start to figure out what went wrong? any input would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

^^^^^^^^^^ This right here. There are two that come off of the fender starter relay and they connect to the side that's always hot. Take a good picture of that starter relay and let us see what you have.

I'm assuming your truck was getting power okay prior to replacement of the cables?

Oh boy. That's about the only low-hanging fruit we can go after. Check all your grounds, especially the one at the firewall above the steering column. After that, it's time to break out the electrical schematics and slowly trace backwards from the fusebox until you find where you ARE getting voltage.

Below is a picture from an earlier model truck I found on Google. Does your reinstall look the same? I replaced all of my main battery cables this year on both sides with OEM cables, but one other thing stuck out, why did you have to run a separate ground on the passenger side?

On the fender mounted starter solenoid, one side has a small positive red connector and on the other side there is a larger red cable connected to it. The larger side is constant power coming from your batteries. You should have two additional connections on the constant side of the solenoid. 1) A single wire that connects to the alternator 2) Connected to two wires, one goes to the PMC and I think the other goes to the glow plug circuit.
