My windows dont work, radio dont work , ignition dont work, I had a motor taken out of my plow truck, and put in my truck now and i put in a 3 inch body lift while that was going on all wires are hooked up but no power to turn it over, turning signals dont work along with my radio, ignition, steering column windows, the only thing that works is my headlight switch

start with checking the red wire @ the ignition switch for 12 volts all the time. if its there then check for 12 volts @ the ppl wire when cranking. if you dont have the 12 volts @ the red wire . trace it back to the battery. there are 2 fusibal links in line off the battery that feed the ignition switch.
