Changed my battery now only the cigarette/ phone charger works. How do I get my truck to start?.

Nothing turns on but service engine light and cigarette/ phone charger. I took the battery to AutoZone and had it chargered. Out it back in an now this.

My first guess would be to see if the headlights work.


Then I'd check the fusible link to see if it was burned out, typically by installing the battery connections backwards? I'd have to look up a circuit diagram to see how much goes through the fusible link.

Might explain why nothing is working to crank or start.

One source for a circuit diagram set is bbbind.com
Another is autozone.com.
Both you have to sign in or sign up in Autozone's case.
