I thought I would post this for feedback and maybe help others
My truck was running in the driveway and it stalled. I couldn’t get it to restart. I noticed that I had no dashboard lights and I didn’t hear the fuel pump running.
I put a fuel pressure gauge on the truck and it had no pressure. I put the scanner on it but it won’t connect I was going to try to trigger the fuel pump
Looking at the wiring diagram and the fuse box all were good but have no power to them. All the power went from the maxi fuse to the ignition switch then out to the fused circuits. The turn signal was in the circuit and it didn’t work either
I disabled the air bag (paranoid about it) and then I found out that the ignition switch was bad a 140$ part.

I decided to use the other side of the switch to close a relay to replace the bad contacts on the ignition switch
That way I can trigger the computer, fuel pump and turn signals when the key is on.
I went with a large 60amp rated relay to do the work
Any thoughts on that?
I am hoping it is a permanent solution for this.
