Default What now?

Sunday, I took the door skins off and replaced the original speakers, replaced speaker wire, and put interior back together so I could drive it too work and then install stereo tonight. The truck wouldn't start this morning. It turns over great, it is also getting spark. What could have happened? Is there a reset switch for fuel system? I checked all of the fuses under the hood and under dash and everything was fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I have also been reading the Haynes service manual, but, i'm not sure where to start other than just reading and soaking up knowledge. Thanks for your help.

Does it start now, or just this morning?

I also found the reset button, on the passenger side, behind kick panel. It was depressed in the "active" position.

Is your pump priming? (can you hear it when you move the key to on before you start)

Try jumping the fuel relay if you don't hear them prime.

Have you pulled your codes yet? be a good idea.

Figured it out. When I took the face plate around gauges off, the fuel tank switch didn't get connected properly. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, turned key on and the fuel pump kicked in and started instantly. I appreciate the help.
