Checked your battery terminals?

Even if one of the computers are fried, you should have some response when you turn the key.

I'm thinking you have a bad connection in the ignition switch.

A dead battery will almost always be able to light a single bulb as it does not require hardly any amperage. Just for ha ha try to jump it. Computers do not die while the truck is sitting.
