Follow the electrical path from the battery until it is dead using an ice pick and or voltmeter.Lost all electrical power
The battery is grounded everything has been checkedThat’s extraordinary! Are you sure the battery is properly grounded at the engine block. I assume you have tested the headlamps and other accessories that do not require the ignition to be on?
Everything is hook up correctly power going to starter and solenoid but nothing in fuse boxI gotta ask - Are you sure you did not hook up the battery backward? Are we sure the battery is good?
All power? WOW -there has to be a short or something. does it carry voltage down to the starter? do you see it at the starter relay? You will have to trace the electricity from the battery to all the ignition points - what about fuses, I assume no power there?
I work in IT so here goes:
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again? Oh okay, unplug it - hold the power button for 10 seconds - and plug it back in - did that work?
All ground wires have been replaced new solenoid new battery cables power going to fuse box after the fuseable link but no power at fuse box
