[V8] NAC NAC Ford Van

Kneale, you don't mention what year it is, but Obviously new enough to
be Fuel INjected. Ford used in-line Fuse links in their wiring. They
are located under hte hood fairly close to the battery. They are
usually black, sort of rubber, and come off the starter solonoid on
the inner fender well. However, the newer ones don't use that
soloniod, so they will come directly off the battery. Generally, these
are what feeds the fusebox, so if one gets blown you will loose a lot
of things. Another thing to check is to siggle the key a bit while in
the run position and see if they come back. If that's the case, the
ign switch is on it's way out. I don't have the wire codes, but can
get them if it comes to that.
