My husband pulled into the driveway. The truck died and so did all of the dashboard accessories and the power windows. The headlights still work. Checked the fuses they all look good. The truck is getting no spark. I replaced the ignition switch. It will turn over but will not start. Any suggestions?

No spark I would suspect the ignition module and replace

I just went out and looked at it again. When I turn on the headlights I can see the dashboard gauges and they are still set like they are running. I can tell how much fuel is in the tank usually when you turn off the truck it goes down to empty. It is as if the truck just DIED! Could it still be the ignition module?

Module effect and control the spark
no effect on gauges and fuel delivery
check for fuel and proper fuel pressure
