1993 Ford F150 - truck started but then dies and now nothing

Asked by GuruXN3 Mar 17, 2017 at 09:13 AM about the 1993 Ford F-150

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1993 Ford F150 - So the truck has been running great. Then we get a cold snap and it won't start. We try to jump it and get nothing. No power in the cab. No cranking nothing. Battery is under warranty so he goes and swaps out or a new battery, puts it in and ruck starts right up. Ok, problem solved... wrong. This morning after another cold night he goes out to start the truck and it starts right up. Leaves it running in the driveway about 15-20 minutes to get the heat going. Goes to back out and only makes it a few inches before the truck just dies. Now nothing. No power, no cranking, nothing. Any ideas?  Thanks in advance

If you get no electrical power at all, anywhere, check all the connections especially grounds for corrosion.
