I got off work drove to School to pick up my kids and now it will not start. turn on ignition for the wait to start engine light but no display on dash. no dash lights, radio as well. heater fan works and comes on as well as the Chime. Can call me at 503-522-6462 my name is john

Check all the fuses in the box behind the left battery. Check the fusible links that come from the left battery too. That is about all I can do...........

Thats a fuse its one of the fuses on the end of the dash

Thats a fuse its one of the fuses on the end of the dash

There ya go! I knew somebody would come up with the right answer. Here I thought the fuse you wanted was under the hood........

I got a tow home from a buddy. But no wipers, radio, Turn signal, instrument gage dead, no dashlights. I am thinking ignition switch.

All fuses are good. Tested with test lamp

Tilt steering column up and down while turning the ket

funny you talk about the tilt steering column. I did tilt it up to help my son buckle. then tried to start and that is where the problem started.

Well it is no longer a 911 issue. Now it is a broken truck in the driveway issue.

Even if it is not a 911 topic pull the cover around the steering column and you just may find a wire or two that are broken.

Yeah, we're still interested in what your problem is.

Well it was a broken wire at the ignition switch. I took the female spade out of the wiring harness and un-soldered & un-crimped it and  re-crimp & re-soldered again. All is ok now. I never move the tilt up and down but my son was having trouble putting his seatbelt on so i tilted the column up to reach behind to help and then it did not start. thank you guys for the help!
