Default No crank no PW no blower fan

Turned my truck off . Now it will not crank over. I noticed the fan blower will not work and the Power windows will not work when I turn the key to on position. I checked the batteries and their grounds. I replaced the ignition switch. I can jump the starter with a wire from the connector coming out of the power distribution box to the battery and the truck will run. But The windows will not work and the blower does not work. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Does anything that *should* work with the ignition in the On position work? Wipers? Turn signals? etc.?

Download the factory service manual for your truck from here. Go digging for the common source for the stuff that doesn't work. To me, it still sounds like a bum ignition switch......

Thank you I will. In the meantime i'm going to send the switch back and try a new one. A friend told me he went through 3 new ignition switches before he found one that worked. He was buying his at O,Reilies i'm getting mine from Rock Auto.

I tried the second ignition switch did not work. I am now looking at the manual and going to see what the power Windows and Fan have in common. Thank you for your suggestions.
