Power issues

Post by DicksDodge »

About a week ago I started my truck with the intention of taking it to Deaver Racing Springs to start the process of re-doing the suspension. I started it up and it ran for a while, then died. At the time I was opening the gate. I looked inside and noticed that the ignition key was almost all the way out. I knew I needed a new switch so I ordered one and installed it. Same symptoms prevail. I have power all the way to the fuse block but nothing after. I checked all the fuses and they seem fine. Any ideas before I start really tearing stuff apart?

BTW, I cleaned the battery terminals and the positive lead is almost new. The negative looks good but I haven't performed an Ohm test yet.

Thanks in advance.
