Could be an ignition switch or the solenoid under the hood. Check all the fuses also.

Good hunting. :)

Suggested Repair

Replace the ignition switch and inspect the under-hood starter solenoid. The fuses were reported good, and the TFI module was already replaced without restoring under-hood power.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1987 Ford Ranger 2.9 said the engine would turn over but nothing under the hood had power, while cab accessories worked. Cranking from the fender solenoid still left no under-hood power. After the TFI module was replaced with no change, the expert suggested the ignition switch or under-hood solenoid and advised checking fuses. The owner confirmed the fuses were fine and planned to replace the ignition switch.
