1988 Dodge Ram 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have 1988 dodge ram d-100. Manual. It has not been driven in a while and decided to get it out today. It has been turning over just fine.I took it to the shop to have a the fuel lines replaced brought it home to do the oil change. Turned in on after the oil change let it run for a bit (was running great!). Turned it off and when in the house for a few min, came back out and I get hardly nothing. It does not even try to turn over, but I do turn the key I get all kind of hazard and turn signal lights but no attempt turn over (even though they are not selected to be on). I have purchased a new battery and that has no effect. Replaced the starter relay. Nothing. I am desperate for help as I can not afford to take it to a shop and have them charge a arm and a leg to track down the problem. Please help!

"It does not even try to turn over, but I do turn the key I get all kind of hazard and turn signal lights but no attempt turn over (even though they are not selected to be on)."

Kindly make sense out of this or elaborate on what exactly is happening. Is the no-crank the only problem or is something up with the lights too? Does the starter relay click? Are you pushing the clutch pedal down?
