Yes, the head lights & interior lights do come on

 

Well then the battery connections are good. The only thing I could think of is if you flip the key and get no idiot lights or nothing, then maybe a bad ignition switch or ign wiring harness?????

A ign switch at Autozone is P/N LS1144 and is $25. IDK if thats the issue or not but thats my guess since you have lights and all but no dash or cluster response when you use the key.

 

Yes, I did put in a new ignition switch. Still nothing.



It sat for a couple of months & drained the battery. I put a new battery & ignition switch in it. Fuses are fine. Couple of questions:

Do I have to re-set the PCM after putting in the new battery, etc.,? What about the factory anti-theft system?

 

What do the lights do when you turn the key? Even with a new battery, they should dim a bit. I'm starting to guess you've had a furry visitor who has eaten some wiring.

 

That was my thought also as I have had that happen before

No need to reset the PCM. The anti-theft would still get you some dash lights. And I dont think the 02's had that type of system where they would lock the truck down.

 

When I open the door, the map lights come on, as well the odometer/mileage, thats it.

 

The dash lights don't come nor does the cab light

 

have you checked the starter solenoid to see if power is getting to the starter?

 

Yes, it's getting power. I used a jumper wire in the fuse & relay center and was able to get it to crank.

 

No, there are no dash lights
