Alright so got a 1985 k-10 w/ 350. I replaced the starter in the truck and went to go turn the key over after wards, had power to dash, locks, etc. lost all power after turning key to off. Traced down the fusible link by junction box fixed it right, wrong. Kept blowing fuses. So grounding issue you would think. Checked my wiring replaced a few wires that had been melted/ just old. Replaced all fusible links with actual fuses. Got the engine to fire. It wouldn’t rev passed idle. Does have electric choke. Couldn’t figure that out. Turned the truck off now I have no power to cab and all fusible links that I found have current/ voltage behind the fuse…. I’m dumbfounded. Thought about adding a ground to the firewall if the fusible link by junction box. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: No power to cab issue. Please read
If the problem started after replacing the starter, I would check every wire that runs to the starter. Both for burnt insulation and also for correct connections to starter/solenoid.
Also check alternator. Possible the dying starter took the alternator with it. Check the ignition switch and neutral safety switch at the base of the steering column inside the cab. |

One of your starter wires must be shorting.

Re: No power to cab issue. Please read
Always go back to the last thing you touched when things go wrong after a part replacement. I agree with above posts. Most likely something wrong with the wires on the starter.
