I Have a 2000 Lincoln Navigator with a total power outage nothing will come on I replaced Stater, Alternator, Battery, and plugs, Ignition Coils, and Stater solenoid, and I still have no power at all. All the fuses are new and most of the relays are new. I do not know what the problem could be other than the ignition switch that is all that is left so could you help me in solving this problem

do the brake lights and hazard flashers work?

make sure the battery terminal cables are clean and clamped on there tightly and the protective caps are removed. They should not move when you wiggle them.

inspect all the cables running from the battery. Make sure the one connected to the car body is also clean and tight.

 


nothing comes on no lights at all


then it's the main connection

Did you confirm that those parts were bad before replacing them?

Check to see if there is a fusible link or master fuse that has blown.

You can find the shop manual for that car here:

All power starts at the battery. Find an analog voilt meter, set it to read between 0 and 24 DC volts and start measuring voltages with - lead (black) on metal chassis ground and positive (red) on + of battery.  If it reads below 10VDC the battery needs charging.  If it reads 0 it's dead or has an open ground. If the battery is 12VDC, start measuring up the electrical chain until you find 0 positive volts.  Somewhere between the battery and that 0 is an open wire, blown fuse, or off switch.
