Default OBD Codes

Hi Guys, new to forum.
Saw the post with OBD codes for my 95 Ram 2500. Got the check engine light to blink it and got a 1 2 then 5 5. From what I read this is all normal. It died going down road so something not normal. Any ideas about this?
I also have an ABS light blinking 7 times over and over. Love this truck so any advice is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Did it start right back up after it died? Whatever happened, it didn't set a code......

No, it hasn't started since. Turn the key and just click, click.

It reads low, between red and lowest white. If I turn key to start it also kills everything like inside light, radio, dash lights, etc.

How many miles on the engine? Does the engine turn over but not start or is it locked up?

Dead battery. Either the battery itself is bad, or, the charging system isn't doing it's job. Put a charge on the battery, start the truck, what does the volt gauge say now?
