No start

2003 6.0 no start. turn the key to on and nothing happens. dash lights up as it should but I don't hear the glow plugs cycle and no fuel gets into the upper fuel bowl. turn the key over and nothing happens. No starter click nothing. tried the starter wire to the battery trick and it cranks but does not kick over. checked ficm wires and they are secure as well as the injector wire on the intake manifold. it is the original ficm.

The starter wire to the battery only turns the truck over and bypasses the key. It won't start the truck that way unless you turn the key to run and then use the wire.

Yeah I turned the key on and it tried to crank but to no avail, and thank you I'll check that fuse, is it under the dash or under the hood?

Trace the wire,it's either pinched or rubbed through some place.

I just read of another issue with wire chafing on the '03's causing the f-22 to blow. Their chaffing was under the turbo.
