Another no start

I have looked through all the little things that could have happened including fuses, relays and the fuel cutoff. Lets start with this my truck is a 93 ford flareside 5.0 4 spd manual, middle of the year i took my truck off the road to spray it and clean up loose ends and such. this past saturday my truck ran fine besides a dull battery. Sunday i rewired my audio system and installed some lights on my reciever hitch because the regular reverse lights sit 5 ft off the ground and dont help. after reworking these few things i find my truck not starting. it cranks over and over, today thinking it was just a cut off i bought a optima expecting it to start right up after resetting the switch so i could register it thursday.. and nothing still. the fuel pump is not turning on dont know where to go now
