Finally an update. There is no power to the fuel pump, ecm, or OBDUI.I know this is a problem others have had. Does this help with diagnosis?

Thank you for this info. I'll see what I can find with this.

Do you know of a trick to get the fuse panel out? I can't seem to get it disconnected.

The starter was replaced in May this year. Truck would not even try to start then. I'm fairly certain this thing has a short somewhere which caused the failure of both batteries, alternator, starter, and the crossover cable all within the 1.5 years I have owned it. I love my truck and I need it...

All lights in the cluster work. Radio, alarm, windows and locks, everything else works. It just won't start. I'll look into testing more stuff tomorrow. The 51 fuse got switched out today and it changed nothing. I know it has something to do with the fuse panel because the truck was running and...

Replacement of the crossover cable and eyelets changed nothing. All fuses, including 51, are intact and functioning properly. Is there anything else it could be?

I did replace both batteries at the same time in November of 2018. The passenger popped a cap and leaked some acid on July 3 and exploded on August 4. I don't have a problem getting a voltmeter, just not sure how to read one. To be completely honest. My husband relocated the ground that goes...

I have checked them and switched some around that control power to the ignition and such. I pulled the crossover cable off this morning also and found that my friend trimmed the diameter of cable at the passenger side battery down to half its stock diameter to make it fit in the raptor cable...

I connected the battery charger to each battery this morning. Both are registering 11.9 prior to charge. The last time I tried to start the truck it dragged like the batteries were low so I did expect this. Passenger side(smaller) battery charged to 13 in about an hour. Driver's side is still...

I do not have a voltmeter but I do have a trickle/jumpstarter that reads the voltage. I can hook that up and see what each reads.

I got up first thing this morning and rewired the alternator, grey to grey and black to black. The truck is still dead with no gauge sweep on key on. Cranks but won't start. Did the ODO test again and it still reports A4, AA, AC, AF followed by the double zeroes. Does the crossover cable feed...

I really appreciate your help with this. I will take off the e.v.r. and see if that alleviates the gauges problem. Still planning to replace the battery cables as well though, since it seems like that was the original problem that had been misdiagnosed. Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know...

I'm sorry I didn't specify this. The ext voltage regulator was installed between the time the pass battery exploded and the time truck was running and reading no charge. I am not entirely sure how to rewire the alternator back to the ECM to eliminate the external voltage regulator. I was...

I am of the same opinion about my friend. Unfortunately. I did try bypassing the crossover cables with a heavy-duty set of jumper cables but the crossover was still connected at the time. Will that still cause the problem? When tested while truck was running, passenger battery was getting no...

I have a 2004 5.9 Laramie HD. I bought it used with 260k. Over the past 2 years, I have put a total of 13k on it. I had to replace the alternator, both batteries, and the starter. I had a problem at the beginning of July with the pass battery. It overheated and popped the cap leaking acid across...
