Apparently something is wrong with my baby, cause she's being a b***h! 04 ram with the 5.7, and right around 140k on the clock. Went to turn it on today, and not a dang thing. Starter didn't click, and the fuel pump didn't prime. Hooked up some jumper cables, same thing. All my gauges read zero. The fuses look good, so I replaced the ignition switch, and it didn't help at all. Didn't touch any of the grounds, they all look good. Accessories work and i can turn on my headlights. But they don't dim when I try to stay it like usual. I'm out of ideas. Suggestions?

so fuel pump doesnt turn on
and starter wont turn.did you check the voltage at the battery?
how old is the battery?
how bout the relays for both the starter and fuel pump. maybe they went out.
for the starter you could jump the the pins to try and start it. thatll tell you if the relay is bad.
then have someone under the truck to try and hear the fuel pump. i can never hear mine...
