That appears to be both a voltmeter and a continuity tester. Are you checking for voltage or continuity? And where are you putting the probes?
putting one probe on the left opening of socket and the other in the right side,
correct?
first time using one of these....
im using it in the continuity mode. i think.....just waiting for the red light to go off at the top.
correct me if im wrong
^^^^ This, and set the meter to check for DC voltage. And since this is evidently NOT how you were checking the socket for fuse #22, do the same for that socket.
ok
im moving in the rite direction thanks to you all...
i have power to fuse #9 and #22
as simple as it seems to most i just figured out how to use a multimeter
knowing that i have power to both what does that tell me now?
truck cranks but no start and no WTS light.

No worries, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. We're all here to help.
Is it possible that there is an issue with the PCM itself from the bump? I guess you could switch PCM's to find out. Someone else who knows more than I will probably have a better idea.
Well I don't remember if you said there was a chip or not installed or if you know.
If there IS a chip (or if you don't know) I'd look into pulling out the PCM just to make sure.
On the bottom of the firewall near the driver side fender, there is a large plug that goes through the firewall. There is a 10mm (I believe 10 or 11mm) bolt that holds this plug in place. This is the connection to the PCM.
First check to make sure that is nice and tight and no wires looked chafed. If that seems good, then I'd pull out the plug as well as the cover holding the pcm in place (the cover should be held in by two 10mm bolts I believe, one on the top and bottom).
With the plug out and the cover off, the PCM can be pulled out threw the firewall, but it will be pretty tight. You'll have to push down on the wheel well pretty hard to get it to come out, but it's doable.
If there was a chip inserted in the PCM, a bump can very well had slightly pushed it out of socket which will cause a no start for sure!
If you are just wanting to see if there is a chip you can do it easier if you drop down the parking brake bracket. It is 3 nuts and allows you access to the back of the PCM.
If there is not a chip, then there should be a plug in the place of the bronze chip that I have.

If you do not have a chip in your truck, there will be a black rubber typ plug where the bronze colored thing is in the pic. If you have a TS style chip, there will be a black plastic insert with a wire cable hooked to it in the place of the bronze colored chip in the pic.
