Hi! I am new to this site and I have a question regarding a 1988 Ford Ranger XL, 4 cyl, manual, efi.
The truck will not start, there are no lights, radio, horn, etc. The battery has been tested and is good. A co-worker thought it might be the voltage regulator and he replaced that. Still nothing. Can someone give me any suggestions on what could possibly be wrong with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it did not start after the Battery test and the battery is on full charge level;
check + and Negative Battery Cables and clamps for corrosion; check the grounds on engine & frame
check cable connectors @ starter relay "S" terminal and battery cable connection on starter solenoid
if all good so far;
Ignition Switch is not good and not supplying voltage to starter relay.
if good, a fusible link is out
