In addition to Eric's suggestion above, you may have physically broken a fusible link - I'm guessing your 1988 Hiace has 2 or three of these coming off the pos terminal of the battery, and if you pull on the leads, and the links are now 22 years old, they can break.
Also, are you sure the battery you have installed is OK? Have you put a multimeter on it?
