Hey everyone, new to the forum, had the truck for about a year or so. I replaced my power steering pump and after putting everything back together I'm not getting any response whatsoever from my ignition. It was working perfectly before I took everything apart as I was running the motor to flush the PS fluid before I started the repair. Now when I connect the batteries the only thing that seems to work is the 12v outlet in the cab of the truck (I have a voltage meter plugged into that and it shows 12+ volts). Nothing else works on the truck as far as I can tell...no lights, not even under hood light which usually pops on as soon as I connect my battery terminals.
I looked over the engine and everything plugged in except for the fan clutch sense (have the fan clutch off for now until I get this fixed...i have run the engine without this plugged in previously so I know this isn't the problem.
I am honestly horrible at troubleshooting electrical problems. Can anyone give me a good starting point to look at that might be the problem? I feel like I have to be missing something very obvious but for the life of me I can't think of what I might have disconnected that would have impacted the ignition.
