Replace spark plugs and wire and ignition coil. Put new starter and starter solenoid. Now the truck wont start and no interior light.

Good afternoon,

I would start by testing the battery and cleaning the battery cables.

Once you get power back, see if you can hear the fuel pump run for 2 seconds when you turn on the key.

I would also check the fuel pressure and test for spark as well.

I attached the wiring diagram of the system for you.
