On sunday my wife and I unloaded a load of fire wood from my truck. Since then it has not moved. I went out this morning to move it. Nothing, no power to anything at all. I checked the battery and it showed 12 volts, the cables are connected and no corrosion etc. I am not sure why I have no power to anything, dome lights, door locks, etc.

I will start working on teh issue tomorrow, but not sure what it might be. What would make everything be dead in the truck. A dead battery usually will atleast give you something.

 

you must have over worked it, and now it's pissed off.

go through the wiring from the battery... gotta be something fairly easy if theres no power to ANYTHING...

 

I figured that would be the reason for the lack of house work out of my wife, not my trucks excuse. I have been around a lot of trucks and build my own jeeps, but never have I had something like this... Everything looks connected correct, and like I said it backed up to the wood pile fine. Maybe it is just jealous of the jeep that has been getting the action lately.

Just hoping it was not some computer or anti theft system etc. Beyond a basic TBI on my jeep me and auto computers do not get along.

 

My truck just did this. Same scene you describe except my alarm kept going beserk. Within a window of 3 hours of the truck being last drivin this happened. Turned out to be the battery that tanked. I hooked up some jumper cables from my wifes truck and alarm shut up and I was able to start truck. Took battery to be tested, sure enough, bad battery. Bought new one and installed, everything normal. It sort of threw me for a loop because I have never had a battery grenade like that before either. Just an idea for you to try the jumper cables. When the battery went not even the odo display or dome light would come on.
