Left lights on battery drained. I took battery out of other car hook up cables wrong. I am not sure but, think 80a fuse shorted out. How do I check and replace. Truck will not start or lights work nothing.

Hello, I am Danny.

It is possible you did pop a main fuse,or also the fusible link. They are all located next to each under hood. I have attached a picture of location as well as a link showing you how to test.Those components are designed to fail when something like that happens to save the wiring and electrical system components from damage. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any further questions. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
