Default Help truck wont start

All I did was take the seats out to clean my rubber floor mat.

check fuses in the end of the dash and under the hood in the power box. you might have shorted a seat belt wire or speaker or amp or something. check the odd ones labeled IOD and the main fusible link thingy.

also - check fuse for fuel pump, and listen for the initial whine when ignition is first turned on.

if no help, then check engine for spark at the plugs.
check for fuel pressure by depressing the test valve in the rail. caution - do not smoke and hold a rag over it or it'll squirt directly into your eyeball.

Does not start as in it wont turn over, or turns over but not run. Defently check what Dh recommended... but also make sure the battery is good, you did have the doors open for a while.
