My truck does not start. I get power to the lights and dash panel. When I engage the ignition nothing but the lights and dash panel comes on. The battery has been replaced in the last six months. The alternator was replaced in April and the starter is refurb and was replaced in may. The crankshaft pully and serpentine belt has also recently been replaced. The connection to the starter is tight. Otherwise, I do not know much about working on vehicles so I don't know what to do.

If the starter won't crank, did you check voltage circuits at the starter motor? Two voltage circuits, one is hot all the time. The other goes hot with key in the crank position and is wired through the neutral switch. The starter grounds through the housing and engine block.

Jut to add, if you have a crank fuse in your box, check that fuse.
