1985 D100 Not starting and Radio Out
Stopped at a light and my fuse box was hanging so I move it out of the way, when my radio stopped and the truck shut off and would not start.
It cranks but does not turn on.
I replaced the:
The Voltage Regulator
The Ignition Coil
The Starter Relay
Still no luck.
BTW, I looked everywhere, I cannot find the Ignition Module in this vehicle...
I checked all of the fuses, they are all fine.
Note*. The wiring in the truck is suspect as the former owner had butchered them putting gauges in.
Does anyone have any ideas?

i'm guessing that when you moved the fuse box you knocked a main power wire loose. the best thing to do would be to check which fuses have power with the key in the run position. they should all have power but if they don't then that would be where your problem is.
Thanks Crazzywolfie, really appreciate you commenting, I tested the fuses and many work, some do not, radio, etc... I don't see anything which is disconnected which leads to these fuses. A friend of mine thinks it might be the ignition switch, which is above my expertise and patience. Will have to take it to the garage.
if the radio fuse is blown then that would be your problem . there is a couple of fuses that if they blow they will cause your truck to die and not restart and the radio one seems to be one of them usually. are you getting 12 volts at every fuse when your keys are in the on position?
If you are not getting power to some of the fuses either a wire is disconnected/burnt or a fusible link has melted in most cases. You need to identify all of the fuses that are not getting power so that we can help you further. If all of the fuses that are not receiving power go thru the switch then it might be the switch but that would not be the first place I would go.
