Here's what I have:
1992 F150
lights work
dash lights and gauges work
fuel pump is working
Radio doesn't work
when I turn the key to start, nothing. Not even a click. Pure silence.
What the hell did I do? If I can't get it figured out soon, my late elk will be gone.

Check the starter solenoid on the fender. If its not bad there are a couple 2 or 3 size 10 wires right there that I would check. I believe one of those is a fusible link. It has a larger round bell at the terminal. Feel it, flex it and see if it's burnt.
That's the best advise I can give you with out sticking it with a test light or meter?
PM me with your number and I can coach you through a few more test.

Check the fusible link. It will be inline from the battery to the ignition . Its a safe guard for you ignition just for instances, like putting in your battery backwards :bash:

Update: Alternator too. Crap.
I'm no auto mechanic, but that doesn't make sense. :dunno:

Wow, heck of an offer.

It's either the alternator or the voltage regulator. I multimetered the battery and it's putting out 12 amps. I started the truck and turned on the fan and lights and it went to 10.2 amps. I then had the wife hold the pedal down at 3000 rpms, enough to engage the alternator and it didn't move from 10.2 amps when it should have gone to about 14 as the alternator charged the battery. Either the alternator is gone or the voltage regulator isn't telling the alternator to charge the battery. I stopped before I read to pull the battery wire off the battery to see if the alternator kept the engine running. That's tomorrow.

It sure is but my elk gas money is going into repairs I think. I might get out next weekend but the truck SHOULD be fixed by then.

well damn it doublej if you were closer the one off this bronco that I tore apart would probably work
1988-1994 bronco and f150 parts are almost all interchangeable. I do wish I was closer. I could probably use a lot of what you have on that thing :chuckle:
