truck didn't start this morning. ...

So I went to leave for work this morning. I jumped in the truck and went to turn it over and when I did I noticed a little spark where the steering column meets the guages. And no response now when trying to turn the truck over. Any ideas? Thanks for reading

Same thing happened to me recently, turned out one of the wires to the ignition switch on the steering column had grounded out. Drop the column to check. It also melted one of the fusible links in the engine compartment (good thing too, that's why they are there so you don't have a fire)
