The black wire with a pink stripe sounds just like something you disconnect to make the truck stop beeping when the key is in the ignition and the door is open.

Maybe the anti-theft wires that run up to the key switch aren't connected. Is your anti-theft light on the dash illuminated or blinking?

If it's blinking then that's why the engine isn't starting. The wires the run up to the key switch sensor antenna are likely damaged.

just found out that the truck is getting spark but is not getting fuel , is there a way i can temporarily take the hot wire off the fuel pump and make a wire with a fuse in it and see if it will start ? i know it sounds crazy but i need this truck started

The engine does not start and LED remains off:
1. Check PATS system fuses
2. If alarm is fitted check if LED functions for alarm: if not check cigar lighter fuse (also used for LED)
3. If not go to main dealer

Engine does not start: LED flashes rapidly. Leave ignition on until the LED starts to flash a 2 digit code: (sequence- pause-sequence) Check the following codes:

Code flashes:
1:3 Key code not received. Is key screened by other keys or objects? Try different key: if okay then first key is faulty. If not go to main dealer

1:4 Partial code only received. Try again. If not okay use different key. If not go to main dealer

1:5 Key not programmed into PATS.

1:6 Faulty link between PATS module and EECV Go to main dealer

The keys you're using to try and start your truck, are they your original ones, or are they from the truck the column came out of?

they are from the truck the colomn came out of , but it only came with one key , a guy just stopped by and hooked his laptop to it with the same program the dealers use trying to get it to program the key ( hes bringing me by 3 keys tomorrow ) and ill go get them cut and we will go from there in the morning

There is another way to do this without dealer or any other scan or programing tools .
But MUST have two working keys from the orginal steering colum that came in your truck. It is the same procedure you would use if you had to change out a bad lock cylinder with a new one.
