Hey guys I bought this van about a month ago, been working on turning it into a camper van. There was an old power inverter that I removed and while removing the positive cable that goes back to the battery, it made contact with the metal floor. It arced and I grabbed it as soon as I could but it was too late. Now the van won't crank, start, no lights, no interior controls, nothing.

The starter relay has no voltage to it. I pulled it and tested the 4 terminals with the key in the on position, nothing. I can turn the key to the on position and bump the starter with a screw driver and it just cranks and cranks but will not run. All fuses in the cab and relays/fuses under the hood look good.

Someone please help I'm out of ideas! Thanks!

 

Can you scan the OBD for a code? Two things you could check would be the CPS(Crank Position Sensor),
and the TPS(Throttle position sensor).

 

You have blown the fusable link from the + cable

 

Try swapping the fuel pump relay and the starter relay. They are the same.

 

I'll give these a look at!

 

Can you explain what you mean by fuse link? Or where it's located so I can troubleshoot it? As far as I can tell all fuses and relays are still good. Both inside the cab and under the hood. Thanks!

 

I'll look again but I thought my fuel relay had 5 post on it and the start relay had 4....

 

Can you explain better?

 

Look for a wide part in the battery plus cable, it is a fuseable link. I suspect that's what the issue is since you post you have no electrical to anything

 

He's getting power to the starter.
