No wait to start light but cranking just fine

Went to start my truck this morning and it wouldnt start. There is no wait to start light but it cranks just fine. I did pull a 30 amp fuse to test my off road lights but replaced it right away. Any ideas whats going on

The lack of a WTS light is an indication the PCM isn't running, (it's Never gonna start without it). This time of year, as it gets colder, lots of people have their fuel heater come on for the first time since last Winter. It gets rotted through over the summer and shorts. This blows fuse #30 that also supplies power to your computer. If that's what you find, unplug the heater element at the bottom of the filter housing before you replace the fuse. The fuel heater is something most people don't end-up needing, so don't worry about it for now you change replace it later if you want.

Other than that, it's still most likely going to be a fuse. Check them All (esp 30, 19, 22) Twice! It's easy sometimes to overlook a blown fuse

No, no, no,,, you can't plug it back in...

It's shorted, that's why the fuse blows. But, you probably don't need it working anyway. Does it get in the low single digits (F) where you are?

Look at the plug at the bottom of the fuel bowl in this pic;
