Default 1989 DAKOTA WILL NOT TURN OVER ?

Hi everyone. I am looking for some help. I started my truck yesterday and and it fired up like always. I drove it about 200 yards and it just shut off. All the axuliary lights on the cluster are dead. If i turn the key half way nothing works on the cluster. And if i turn it all the way to start it nothing happens at all. I thought it was the ignition switch so i replaced that last night and I still have the issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could be? It sounds electrical to me!

Thanks for all your help.

It could even be a weak battery that is starting to crap out.

or I dont know if the splice on the drivers fender would cause that or not.
