My truck has been through it all I have to start it with screwdriver and switch. So today I turned it off and when I turned it back on the truck would not start. Had this problem before and it was at the fuse box under the hood had a bad wire. Had that checked out and everything checked out, but truck still would not start this time. There is no electricity to the ignition at all no dash or the buzzer on ignition, nothing.

Check fuse B and C in under hood fuse box, they may be blown. Both are big fuses so check those with a test light. Then check battery for condition including load test. Most places do for free make sure battery terminals are clean.
