No chassis power! Ford V-10

Went to start it up after winter nap. No power,no head lights,horn etc. Batteries are new & fully charged. Called ford tec. no help. It happend one time last year & I wiggled the wires under the hood & it came back but not this time. Checked all fuses all good.HELP!!!
  • Look under the hood area for a start relay. It should be close to the battery dpending on battery location for chassis. Check to make sure the terminals on the start relay are tight. Adjacent to it there is normally on Fords fuses one of which supplies power to the under dash fuse block.
  • Do you have a battery shut off switch that you use to shut the engine battery off when it's stored? Did you turn it back on?
  • I had to replace the starter. After replacing it never had the problem again.
