Truck didn't start

I installed a new ignition lock yesterday and the truck started without problems, but today she didn't start, I dismounted the steering column and i thought that the ignition switch was damaged, I bought a new one and the truck didn't start, all the fuses are ok, help me guys!!!

No, my battery is good, I have lights and it have good voltage.. when the battery is dead or bad you can listen a crack crack sound in the starter, but only the lights goes little down...

Re: Truck didn't start

Did you put the switch back in correctly

the switch is activated by a metal rod that has to be positioned
correctly to move the switch to the start then run position

I made the mistake of removing mine and fought it a bit
to get everything back together correctly

Re: Truck didn't start

If the ignition switch is still off try using a screwdriver to move it. if it works you had it mis-aligned. if it doesn't try jumping the starter. ( big post to small on the solenoid.) If jumping the starter works then the switch or the wires are bad. If it doesn't work remove the starter and have it tested.
