Default MUSTANG 5.0 WONT START

Hi everyone , today I tried to start my 5.0 and it would not crank , let alone turn the radio on or electric locks/windows.It has been raining pretty hard the last week so I am assuming this is a short of some kind.I am new to cars and mustangs and would like a suggestion or something if you guys could.Also I had a waterproof car cover on but is there a chance this is electrical problem?

@GMSucks...

fo shizzle homes...

first off junior...if you have no lights, and it wont start...wouldnt you think its a power issue first? the easiest of the power issues to check would obviously be a battery test

second, you dont have to be "savy" to know not to go to a DODGE forum for help on a ford.

third, 4800 for a 12 year old car, with "lots of racing parts"? let me guess.,..under drive pulleys...an AM TB...borla catback, 12" subs, tinted windows, and knockoff cobra wheels.

anyway...call around, find someone who checks batteries for free, and get it checked.

im not familair enough with them to know if it is a regular problem with a stang to have power issues. there are some guys on here who own stangs, i guess none of them are on, or they would have come to your defense...

is there an aftermarket radio in it? and how long have you owned it?

if you have real questions, you may want to PM me to avoid further problems..i hate mustangs...but ill answer questions...
