trace the wires until u can see if u accidentally knocked it off their connections.

check also the connections for the new things which u installed. if they're installed where they're supposed to be along the lines of the wires, then ur good. otherwise, u might need to make some corrections.

Have you checked ALL the fuses ? I mean pull EACH one out and put your meter on it and check for continuity. Dont just look at them and think they are good. Physically check with a meter. If they are ALL good....thats one huge thing you can cross off the list. Next, I would start disconnecting the things you added to the truck starting from the last item. Example: train horns (or whatever)...then try starting the truck. That dont start it...move to the next item...disconnect...try starting. Keep at it sir....you'll get it.

well i guess i figured it out i gave everything another look over and grabbed a hold of a bunch of wires from behind the fuse panel and wiggled them a bit and then gave it another try and what ya know it fired right up like there was nothing ever wrong so must be a loose connection somewhere under there im not really in a hurry to find it either its running now and thats good enough for me for now thanks all of ya for the advise
