Wont start
« on: March 18, 2012, 09:44:19 PM »
I changed steering columns. Everything went smooth everything plugged in and lined up. I turned key and heard a crack and a puff of smoke from engine bay. I found a blown fuse I replaced it and replugged everything into old column  I am getting power to starter and the wire coming to fuse box  but nothing after. The headlights work and turn signals. But nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     Need to know truck year/series, and did you swap the same steering assy. or switched to something different with different options ?

Is it a stick? If it is check for the cable connecting to the clutch it may be disconnected. Once you reconnect it, your truck should fire right up.
