98 explorer won’t crank

[Zayday02]

I got a 98 explorer that stopped working while I was hooking up some lights. I don’t know if that had anything to do with it but now it will not crank at all , no click under hood or anything

I’ve replaced the
- battery
- starter
- starter relay
- ignition switch
And it still won’t crank , it’s like power isn’t getting to the starter at all , I honestly don’t know what else to do . Lights come on and all it’s just won’t crank. Can someone please help !

Define ‘hooking up some lights.’

Did you hack into the vehicle’s harness at all?

Have someone stand in front of vehicle..... you turn on the headlights and turn key/ crank the engine.....if the headlights dim the starter IS getting power....rules that part out.
Did you check / rule out fuse - it's number 24 on fuse box (15 amp I believe)--- left side of dash / instrument panel

Grab wiring diagrams linked in my sig below, or attached is an image of the PDF version.

Grab multimeter

Trace where power stops

No just aftermarket led light bar
