No engine starter operation?

I think it is a security issue because my husband put the alarm on with the drivers side door unlocked with the keys in the ignition. Can you tell us how to reverse whatever he did.

After sitting for a period of time, usually over night, the key fob does not unlock the doors. After opening the door with the key the dome lights are not on. The engine will not turn over yet there is dash lights. Cycling the key many times does nothing. Waiting and suddenly the dome lights will come on and truck will start.

New battery, cleaned cables, new negative cable, cleaned the ground. Still nothing.

Yes, it was 13 something I believe. When the dome lights do finally come on, it cranks over like a champ.

On recommendation I replaced the fuse block and the ground strap and still the problem remains.

It was a recommendation from a local garage after two trips there and several hundred dollars for them to tell me they could not find anything wrong, but maybe try a new fuse block. There is 12 volt power to the fuse block.

12.46 volts at the fuse block.

It seems like the area around the steering column lacks power when the "no start" issue happens. The door locks, rear door windows, dome lights, blinkers, flashers all do not work. The radio ( although not the steering wheel controls) climate center, headlights, wipers ( but not the delay) power mirrors, front door windows all work. The "not working" things do work however when the no start issue happens.
