Hi everyone. I'm a new member, and I'm not a trucker! I own a bus, and I'm having some probs with it.
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it so much.

I bought a 1991 Ford E350 7.3 diesel short bus, and it was running nicely.
I had a pinhole leak in a fuel line, and over the course of a few weeks I got the new tubing and took the old piece out and replaced it.

After I put the new fuel line in, I put the key in the ignition and turned it, and suddenly- No power!
I mean nothing! It's like there wasn't even any batteries installed.
I charged the batteries over night, and tried again, and still nothing.
No lights come on, no fans, no glow plug indicator, nothing at all.
I've purchased two haynes manuals, and they are both very vague.

However, I noticed that I had power on my control unit power terminal (On the Power relay/electronic control module).
So I checked for power on the ignition terminal and there was zero voltage.
Due to there being Zero volts, I wanted to check the Fusible link, but I couldn't find it anywhere!!!!
So the questions I have are:
1) Does anyone know where I can find the Fusible links?
2) Is the glow plug indicator lamp wired in series with the ignition circuit?
(I figured if it is, and the lamp is blown, I may just need to replace the lamp)

I know I'm a noob here, but please take the time to help me out if you have any experience with this sort of thing.
Thanks all
