It's under the hood drivers side behind the air cleaner. It's a 30 amp maxi fuse, 3 bucks at any parts store, or well equipped gas station

When you turn the key does it just click?

If all your fuses are good, take a screw driver and jump the starter solenoid. If still nothing, i would say its your starter.

I had this happen about a week ago. Take your starter off the truck and run it down to O'rielly's and have them bench it.

No click no noise I turn the key to crank the motor and nothing happens.. The starter solenoid is on the starter or on the inner fender?.. Do I just turn the key til the wts turns on then I try to short it or do I need to have someone crank the key

so i tried to short the starter selenoid and i heard a click..

Buy one at auto zone if it doesn't fix your problem return it, they take 20 min tops to pull out and put in a new one
