I have a 1989 Ford Econoline 150 van. Yesterday (after starting just fine all day), when leaving work, the van would not start. We thought it was the ignition because the key wouldn't turn properly either. Today, we have replaced the starter solenoid, ignition switch, & ignition lock and keys. We have had no luck getting it started. It will not even act like it's going to start. The battery has power but there is no power to the ignition, starter, or anywhere else. We don't know where to go from here.

in the pic there is a dotted line this may be a fusible link seeif that is burnt then check wire at electronic module tosee if power goes through that. if yo have the relay on fender it may run off of that on the battery side. if you jump that type of relay the engine should turn over. check all the fusible links in pic that may be your problem.
