    On my 2013, I accidentally clipped a wire that was powering some internal led strips, not the truck won't start. The starter spins over but no ignition. Which blown fuses are common for this? Thanks.

    That might be one of those safety stops... Check all your tail lights, 3rd brake lights, turn indicators, even done lights etc... If they all work, then at least that's not it. I read somewhere here that their truck wouldn't start for similar reasons.

    Those items are good. I'm not hearing the fuel pump prime when I turn the key on.

    I put a factory radio in it from another truck but I doubt that would be it.

    It won't. It doesn't "prime" per se, iirc. It runs while the engine is running.

    Interesting, there are many multiple communication system fuses (7.5a usually). They tie into everything. Grab a meter and see if any are blown? It's got to be something simple. In know it is silly but do you have enough gas? Just ruling out some of the obvious ones! I had a picture of my kids covering my fuel gauge/light once. I ran out of gas in my driveway...

    What setting would I use on the meter and do it with key in start position? I pulled every one and they all looked fine.

    They should all be 12v dc
    Another test for the fuse would be continuity.
    But, only the starter will be additional to the rest of the truck when cranking, so if you're getting the starter to crank, no need crank it, for testing the other circuits. Some circuits will actually drop off during cranking, so definitely look at everything in the "run" position.

    Drl fuse. When I took put the Morimotos that use the fuse tap, I didn't put original fuse back in. I do have a Trac off light and check engine light. Should I disconnect battery and see if it goes away?
