Dad's truck quit on him the other night. Just cut off while going down the road. Won't turn over or anything & some of the electrics don't work. Its a 1993 W250 manual that he's had since it was born and only has a little over 100K. I wasn't up to troubleshooting in the rain and dark so I just towed him home.
I figured it was a fusable link. But I have checked those that come out of that duckfoot thing on the fender and they all seem good. BUT, at the fuse block in the cab I can't get power to fuses 1,2,3 or 7,8,9,10 - even with the key on. I'm pretty sure those have power to the firewall connection - at least the pink with black stripe wire does which I think serves 1,2,3.
I can cross out the starter and get it to spin but it obviously won't catch with the fuel etc not getting juice.
Any ideas? Am I missing a fusable link somewhere? The connection block at the firewall looks like brand new.
