HELP ASAP PLEASE.. Sparked the battery now no start

[fordveggivan]

I have a big trip coming up in days... so I'm stressing..

Van E-350
7.3 Diesel
1997
Battery's are showing 12.9 vlts

I was taking the positive line off the second / Aux battery that runs in parallels with the main battery (stock set up)... I forgot to pull the ground and I hit the wrench on the frame and a good spark happened... and I believe this is why I no longer can't start the van... any thoughts?

1st time starting after this happen...
everything sounded fine... very slow crank for 1 second then stopped...

2nd time starting after this happen..
I put the key into the ignition and everything seems find... and then I turned the key into glow plug mode.... nothing... I tried to turn it over and all I got was an odd week door bell chine and nothing.. If I step on the breaks... the doorbell chime stops.... odd

I disconnected the batteries let it sit for a minute then tried again and the same as the second attempt.

The Battery connectors are good...

What am I in for... is this bad... or fatal?

Could it be the started relay....

I checked all the fuses in the engine compartment too and all is good there.

Please help I'm in a very critical period for a big trip.

u prob def burned something id say relay or check ur fuse panel just hope its not the ecu

I would check all your fuses

[fordveggivan]

the "wait to start light" doesn't come on

why do you hope it's not the EIC?... Price.. Other concerns?

[usnavyad]

i have heard of people frying the computer but im not to sure if something like that could

If you have no wait to start light, then the PCM is not getting power to it.

[fordveggivan]

does that mean ... a fuse is likely blown or the starter relay is dead...
or is the ECM fried

[95dieselsmoke]

I know you said you checked the fuses, but did you check the fuses that are under the hood? Pay extra special attention to fuse #22

[fordveggivan]

My Van has the ambulance altenator for extra power, but not the package.. Ok... so I found a 25 amp fuse blown inside the cab... in position 28... i do not have a diagram so I'm not sure what position 28 fuse is for...I replaced it and nothing changed..... I looked at the inline fuse by the starter relay.. it looks like two yellow ... lines... it doesn't look like a fuse nor can I tell if it has been blown...

again the "wait to start" doesn't come on....

[fordveggivan]

I checked the fuse under the hood an in the cab.

thanks
