Default Truck won't start

I ran some errands and came out to my truck and it doesn't start.. I have dome lights the blower works radio works. but I get no lights on the dash for the ABS brankes the wait to start light etc. Where dshould I start looking for problems? I just had a new starter put in about a month ago

Ignition switch is likely culprit when instrument cluster is dead but blower and radio still work.

But always check fuses first.

On a 95 it should not be too hard to change.

IIRC it is located down along the steering column with a rod that activates it from the ignition tumbler-just they can be a bit fussy on adjustment sometimes.

Always do the basics first. Run some fuel out the T valve, Check your oil and coolant, Load test the batteries.
I have had to install a new ignition switch in all of my vehicles except the 1994
