electrical? wont start:(

The 350 is down and out again. I finally got the clutch pedal assembly all together and got to drive it for about 30mins late fri night. The next morning I pulled out back to the trash cans to empty the bed out . When I went to go restart the truck nothing, I suspected it was something with the alarm system that I found when I removed the column to do the pedals so I ripped all the alarm stuff out and still nothing so now I m think it may have just been the batteries or something so I had them checked and charger they where low but not bad. In the process I broke my ignition off so I had to buy a new key setup. Got that in and now this morning when I went to try the truck I hooked the batteries back up put the key in and turned.. Nothing the glow plug light came on like normal and then when I went to turn the ignition over the dash lights and the radio turn off when I try. So I was wondering what does this sound like could it be the switch on the bottom of the column. I pulled that off today and tried just pushing it in and it did the same(the box held on with the 2 starbit screws. Thanks for giving me any advice. As a student and part time worker you guy enable me to keep going. Can go running to the mechanic every time but electric … I might have to but im pretty sure someone here will know what’s up.

Check the clutch safety switch, you say you just replaced the clutch pedal assembly maybe the switch isn't gettting tripped

Ill try to look into that but i allready had that disconected so you didnt have to press the clutch in to start. It seems to be a failure of some sorts turn key and the power to the whole truck seems to just diss it doesnt even want to start. I had the colum out and put a new ingition in before that the truck was fine but in the process the when i tryed to crank the motor it went real weak and then finalll it just had the starter clickin, the # 2 fues under the hood and the started celnoid was clickin. when i turned the key over the elctic seemed to be pulsating. i removed the batts and charged for 24 and when i hooked them back up the plusein stopped but not even a hint of turn over.

Double check the ign. switch on the column. The rod may not be aligned just right or something.

I would take it somewhere to have codes pulled if you think it is running rough.
