Truck has no power when key is turned. I have replaced, key lock cylinder, ignition switch, solenoid, battery and [starter](/topics-starter-ford/). It was running perfect until I replaced a turn signal fuse. Hasn't started since. Mechanic's Assistant: Is the power loss consistent, or does it fluctuate? Fluctuates, like a kinked hose, but very weak. Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 1991 F250 7.5 460 gas Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your F250 yourself? What have you tried so far? Key lock cylinder, ignition switch, solenoid, battery and starter

Ok. I have replaced that once. I guess something is shorting it.Thank you.
