Went to start up my newly acquired E350 today and it won't start. I turned on the headlights, they do not come on. Dome light not coming on as well. I installed the new starter that came with it, and the battery I bought for it is good, had it tested today. It seems like it is not getting power somewhere, what /where should I be checking?

Check your battery cables first. Nothing will work if either of them are fubar’d. Many times it’s a loose ground. If not, move next to fuses. Probably something simple though.

That's what I'm thinking as the battery I bought for it was 6 months old, and the cable ends are tight on the posts.(posts are very clean) Guess I'll break out the test light and see what's up

Okay a little update: I swapped starter relays, still no headlights/dome lights and nothing at the key. BUT I can now jump across the relay posts and get it to crank over. Also observed no ground wire running from the neg terminal to body and none from the engine to the frame rail
Is there a ground from battery to engine atleast? I would def try and add those you mentioned if you aren’t getting proper ground. Make sure the ends connecting to engine , etc are in good shape
