I changed the battery on my van. It is a b250 ram van with a 318. Now the headlights, dash lights, break lights, interior lights, A/C compressor do not work. Also I think the horn as well. Indicators, blower motor, wipers work. I can't figure out what happened.
I have a feeling it is something simple but just can't diagnose it.
Can you please help me out?
I will gladly donate if you can help me.
Thank you -

I took the tire off and could not find a fusable link.
Fuses 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 do not work.
I am really puzzled. Power is not getting to some of the fuses in the fuse box but is going to 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10 as far as I can determine.

Those are interconnected in fuse box the ones that are out and they lead directly to several fusible links see pics and where they are approximately located. They may have on ly one strand of wire connected and probably are burnt out. They shold have battery voltage on both sides.
