You were running on the battery's reserve capacity ... If you can, take the van to a local repair shop, or Autozone or similar for an electrical systems test - alternator and battery of particular interest.
If the van won't go, then I would remove the alternator and take it in for bench testing.
Luckily, removing the alternator is a pretty straight-forward process.

Why is there no power to anything on a 1992 Ford Explorer if it is not the battery connections or fuses?
Your battery connections and fuses may be fine but is your battery dead ? I drove to work one day and when I came out of work I had no power to anything. I used my key to unlock the door, opened the hood and even the little light under my hood would not light up. I got a boost, drove the Explorer to the dealer, left it running but locked, and when they tested the battery it had a dead cell, so they replaced the battery.

First of all, if the battery was low enough you had to jump start it, 15 minutes isn't nearly enough to recharge it. You either have a bad battery or a bad alternator. Either of which you can have tested at a parts store.
