Default truck is dead

While siting in my 2013 1500 it suddenly died. It was idling and stopped running as if someone had turned it off. Now it will not even turn over. I have tried reconnection the wire harness down near the emergency
brake, Have tried resetting the computer. Checked as many connections as possible. Nothing seems to help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Popped a fuse somewhere, or bad ignition switch? Headlights always have power, regardless of key position.....

If the battery is good. Have you check for any codes? And if you do what are they.
