I bought the truck listed above at auction and it had everything cut, I mean everything. I bought another engine with more miles that has the same wiring and hoses etc. Put that on the engine that had everything cut. I get power at the battery but no power to the fuse box. No power at dash. Ceiling lights work and the hazard lights work, that's it. All the fuses in the engine and on either side of the truck are not blown or they look good when I checked them. I can't do a fuse test because there's absolutely no power going to the engine fuse box. Not sure where to go from here.

Good morning,

I attached the wiring diagram for you of the fuse blocks and what they control.

There is a power wire from the battery to the fuse block under the hood. That is most likely the issue.

Thanks! I have everything connected. But still none of the fuses nor the fuse box itself react to the light tester.

In the first diagram, are those red wires hot? Do they light up with the test light?

Yes, they light up with the test light.

If they do and there is no power to the fuse boxes, then those wires are open in the harness.

You need to follow those wires.
