Hi,

I am unable to get my pickup to start. It wouldn't start a few days ago, I got it started and then it died on me while driving it. I have been trying to get it started since. I had a new ignition switch put on it last year, and wondered if it could be that again.

The dash lights don't work, but the truck turns over. I have checked out everything I can think of, starter, etc. I keep coming back to this. Just not sure.

Is there a way I could test the ignition switch myself?

Would greatly appreciate any help.

TIA

I would check the fuses first. Check fuses 4, 17, and 19 on the inside fuse panel if it is a 96-00 model.
