can anyone help me, the battery of my truck moved and the A/C pulley made a crack on it and the battery alarm came on.  I have no indication on the dash, no RPM, no dash lights, no guages (temp, oil, fuel), nothing in the dash work even with the engine running.

I've verify all fuses and they are all Ok.

What could be wrong???

Try to disconnect the battery again for about 60 minutes to reset the computer of the car. Post your results.

How did you verify the fuses to be good ? With a DMM or a light tester ? Visually ? I ask because there have been other members that thought they had checked all the fuses but to their surpries they had missed some or they only did a visual inspection of the fuses and when they tested the fuse .... they found them to be popped.

I check them visually and with a continuity tester.

last night I found the problem, there is a cable that comes out of the alternator that plugs into the wiring harness and the main lead was opened due to the sulfuric acid of the battery when it was cracked by the A/C pulley.

I'll be fixing this cable today and I'll be posting the outcome.

sounds like the main ign fuse is blown under the hood. I think there is a 40 map maxi fuse under the panel on the left side in front of the firewall..
