Not getting 12 volts down to the fuse block on the black and red wire that feeds the windows and blower motor
changed ignition switch , still no luck .. not getting 12 volts at the back of the ignition switch on the black red wire (get like .50)
  under the hood,  at the fusible link I get 12 volts past the the splitter just not inside cab , also no continuity between fusible link  and fuse block ..have continuity betwwen igntion switch and fuse block... I guess my question is  does red black wire run directly from fusible link to ignition switch or does it pass thru relay first (power window relay? ) which Ive searched all over for and cant find .. many thanks for any help, its about to get REAL hot and I dont want to be trapped in this metal box with no air or way to roll windows down

check the in coming PNK/BLK if you have power there then the ignition switch is bad

That was it!!! thank you soo much , you have no idea .. been working on this for while , funny the fusible link didnt look burnt or anything , in fact still had continuity from both sides, opened it up and still look connected ... Is a fusible link even necessary? Could just run a smaller gauge wire ..I guess , Anyway thanks again that just made my month

Here's an interesting discussion re fusible links... some say to replace them with OEM Fusible links..

only if you don't like electrical fires burning your truck down
