HELLLPP electrical problem
the other day my retarted brother inlaw replaced the battery on my 86 pickup, and now it wont crank. it turns over but i am not getting any fire from the coil/ignitor area, we poked around and discovered the main fuse was blown so we replaced it, i have check every fuse in the kick pannel and the fuses under the hood just behind the batter all of them are good all help would be appreciated i need this truck running!!

did he hook them up backwards or something? i would look around and see if u forgot to hook up one of the power lines to the battery, might be a simple thing first.

Look at the manual. http://www.ncttora.com/fsm/1993/body.../2powersou.pdf. If you have power to the starter motor but not to the ignition, there's a chance you blew AM2 (30amp).
Use your voltmeter through the engine-bay fuse block to find out where you have power and where you don't. Don't have a voltmeter? Well, no excuse for that. http://www.harborfreight.com/7-funct...ter-90899.html
"looking" at fuses is okay when you're on the side of the road at night, but once you're past the initial check you need the right tool.

Are you sure it is spark? Switch your key to IGN and verify that the cluster moron lamps come on. Then run your fan/blower motor. If your blower motor does not work, then you may have an issue with this circuit. This same circuit operates the fuel cut solenoid valve.
