I have a 97 ford f150 with the 4.6 in it. Started having to jump start truck last week so put new battery in as it was 5 years old. This did not fix the problem. I have taken cables off while truck was running and it did not stall out so don't think it's the battery but could be wrong. Any suggestions

No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position

Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
