I know this isn't electrical related but check the fuel shut off, sometimes a rough ride will set them off......passenger side kick panel.

So I changed the batteries, no go. Checked the fuel shutoff, and all fuses, still not turning over. I shorted the starter and it would turn over but wont start. So maybe a bad Solenoid, but why wont it start?

Sometimes bad batteries will kill the FICM - then no-start.

Check your FICM voltage.

Oh yeah - Have you checked the Tech Folder thread?

At least we try, and through the Internet it hard to see what is wrong, glad you found the problem. Welcome to FTE.... Take cheezit's advice and check the wires, as you can see from his signature, he has to work on these trucks everyday.

found the fan clutch wiring and didnt see any bare spots so I retaped them and plugged them back up. It blew two fuses back to back, so I yanked on some wires and it got me to work. Could it be something in the ignition wiring?

ok lets start this again.
the left side of the truck is the drivers side. the passanger side is the is the right side. ALWAYS.
so now what side? I think you are refering to the passsanger side of the truck. what was next to the harnees you were pulling on? there is a knowen chafe at the glowplug controller.
once again you need to look at the wiring at the fan cluth hub. this is the most common.
next try to move the gear shifter (assuming its an auto) up and down a few time and see if this makes the fuse blow.
