Hi,
I went out to start my truck and when I turned the key nothing. I checked for lights and horn, nothing. I put in a different battery . Nothing at all. No lights, horn,etc. No power to windows , door locks or mirrors. When I turn the key to start the engine there is silence. No sound from the starter. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum, make sure battery has a full charge and connections are good. Fuse 2--40 amp, underhood fuse box, is voltage for the load side of starter relay, fuse circuit is hot all the time.

FuseB--20, same location, voltage for the horn relay, hot all the time. Use a testlite check for voltage at fuse circuit.
