Default Trouble with starting plus

I am having trouble with ignition. I have no power from key in starting position. I have also lost power to light under hood, truck release, and lights to HVAC/Radio, etc. Other things work OK such as power windows, power seats, and lights on speedometer cluster.I have checked fuses and relays, but can't find problem. Anyone with suggestions?

check your battery cables for security, corrosion, etc. What is the condition of your battery..voltage, etc? Pull codes.

Pull out your ignition switch out and clean off the electrical contacts. I bet you they're covered with carbon. See the electrical sticky thread for instructions.
