I have a 2002 Crew Cab XLT 5.4 Triton. I changed out the intake manifold and valve cover gaskets. Put everything back together, hooked up the battery, no power. Battery voltage is 12.63, still no power. Any solutions?

Not too sure what you're getting at... No power where? Did you possibly pop one of the big fuses on the firewall? Sounds like you have a volt meter.... check for continuity on the fuses.

Like whites post, check VPWR out first. You have a fused split harness, fuses right in front of the battery on that model. So, check the fused positive feeds which split at appox 6" from terminal (batt VPWR) and fused appox 10" from battery terminal. Fuses are encased in a long plastic cable/fuse protector. Ford began implemented this design in 99 , deleting the problematic MEGA fuse design permanently and for good. A positive cable continuity test will be sufficient BUT, - you have to check both positive leads right after the fuse and before the merge. Otherwise, you can get a false positive with testing. Both fuses are suppose to blow simultaneously....it doesn't always happen, sounds like it did in your case imo.

In short (lol) crack open the box around the harness which is located directly in front of the battery....read the paragraph above one more time, - test...

Thanks white89gt for the input. I found the issue. Reconnected a wire to the wrong spot.
