Hey guys in the middle of a battery relocation and I know there are multiple threads covering the same topic but this is a little situation specific and I'm hoping I could get some help. Now I wired the truck as per the diagram below. After completing all of the wiring I hooked the battery up and have zero power(no dome light or anything) took the battery (red top Optima) to be tested...Tests good. All wire is 1 gauge welding cable with crimped copper ends and shrink sleeve. I have a power probe coming Thursday but I was just hoping to get a second opinion on my digram if maybe I did something incorrectly. I'm hoping its something dumb that I'm just overlooking but I'm stumped. I've included a few pictures below to give you an idea of how everything is ran. Thanks guys!


DIAGRAM




This picture is in between the bed panels from bulkhead fittings to charging posts in filler neck door.
Red- Ground to Frame
Blue- Ground to Block
Green- Positive to Cut-Off
Orange- Positive to Alternator Wire



This picture is at the cut off switch.
Blue- To Positive Bulkhead
Red- Positive to Distribution Block in engine bay (Starter Pos Wire and Fuse Block Power Wire tied to Dist. Block)



Other Side of Distribution Blocks inside Bed (Andd YES the wires were hooked up when we tried)

 

Cut off switch.

If all is wired as per diagram, you have one thing that can be the prob.

 

I thought that also, so I connected the two wires from cut off switch straight to the battery still nothing

 

Per your diagram it has to be the cutoff switch or a bad ground (or both).

 

When you installed that stuff, did you hold your mouth just right and wiggle your left foot?

If not thats definatly the problem

 

I'm hoping ground because I joined the two wires from the switch to eliminate it as a factor and still had nothing, wiz wheeled all the grounds today just to be sure and the power probe should be here today so we can start checking voltage or lack thereof in other places.




Wiggled Right foot, could explain everything.

 

Power probe? Dude go down to harbor freight and get a FREE voltmeter that you can test resistance and voltage with.

 

I just text him this morning to ask him if he had one.

Do a ground drop check and check across your cutoff switch to see if it's working.

 

Haha didn't buy one just have a buddy that's bringing one. It hooks up to a good battery and allows you to apply power to specific components along with also checking everything a volt meter will.



Will do, can't get to it till this evening but I'll let you guys know what I find. Hopefully something dumb.

 

Is it wired into the factory fuse block?

Using factory ignition switch?

Also what's the relay thing in the bed and how is it wired up?
