Default Lights on but won't Start???

Truck running fine , turned it off for a few minutes turned it back on. lights came on glow plug light went out . turned the key to start and nothing. Tried it three or four more times and nothing. Moved the gear shift to neutral and nothing. checked fuses under hood - looked ok- moved relays around and still no start. Jumped out neutral safety switch and nothing. bought a new start switch and nothing. Removed and tested starter OK- ran wire to solenoid and to a momentary start button and back to battery + / turned on the switch and waited for glow - pushed start button and it started. Strange AC blower not working , Electric windows not working and Air bag light on??????? Am I missing a fuse or relay or link or What????? Where would it be??

Ho do the fuses and fuseable links look in the fuse box in the engine compartment?

Is this another one of those collision issues? I remember somewhere that somebody couldn't get their truck started because their computer sensed a accident.(it threw a code)

Correct me if I'm wrong anybody.

My guess is low battery voltage to the ECM. Could just be batteries.

Did you figure out the problem? I am having similar issues and cant figure it out yet. I ended up running wiring into the cab to jump the starter and everything works fine, just cant start it with the key
