The key turns, gauge cluster does not work/ have power, but the shift position panel on the bottom right of the cluster lights up and operates. The battery is fine, no starter click, no cranking, no sound at all. No start. Truck will shift through gears without depressing brake pedal. Also, stereo has no power, it will shift (automatic transmission), and lights as well as other interior components are operational. Please help, stranded away from home with no tow service possible.

The first thing we need to do is check all fuses with the key on, if many fuses do not have power, I would suspect the ignition switch as bad.

Here is a guide to help you check the fuses and the fuse location in the images below:

With the key on check for power at the ignition switch wires, blk/org, dk blu and blk/wht.
