Default Cranking issues with 2001 Expedition

Hey guys,

Last night I was replacing two spark plugs and two coil packs. I left everything unplugged overnight (including battery and fuel injectors). Put everything in this morning after getting the replacements and I'm not cranking. When I turn the car on the fuel needle does not move. If I wait for a few minutes the needle will register and move up, but still won't crank when I turn the key over. The needle falls back down after an attempted crank.

Any idea on what happened? Battery checks out fine.

It does sound like there is a poor connection with one of the battery cables.

Lights, radio, etc all come on. Tested it with a multi meter, it's getting 12 volts. I've re-tightened the connections, still nothing going.
I tested the power going to the coil packs and I am not getting any kind of power to any of them, where as I was before I changed everything out.

UPDATE:

Issue resolved, fuse #30 blew. Plugged a new one in and it fired up like a champ.
