No Power At All?

[supastar2]

When I bought the car, The starter was missing a few teeth & it takes a couple cranks before it catches. It has been fine for 2 weeks I was supposed to change it next week. Anyway I get in the car this morning with a downfall of rain & it goes it's normal 3-5 turns...starts to turn over & then everything goes dead completely.....Everything. No more clicking sound when you turn it,lights,alarm etc.

Any suggestions while I'm at work so I can order & get started when I get home?
Thanks-

start at the battery terminals, check their connections as well as the ground leads going to the chassis/body.

if the connections are tight i would look at the fusible links next. i assume these trucks have them.

Check your ECMB fuse (lower left portion of your fuse bax under the DS dash). When it blows, you get nothing.....absolutely NAADA!!

I'm going to start this afternoon, Hopefully I can post good news with 1 of those small & inexpensive fixes...Compared to my worst nightmare electrical!

Nonsense. It will still have a lot of stuff. And it will still crank. The OP has no crank. ECMB won't cause no-crank.

Any ideas that you would know of also?
Thanks-

Thanks for everything guys! It was a quick & cheap fix. I got home from work popped the hood & found the terminal on the battery grounding out because the rubber split apart. Rubber washer & tighten...Job done:tup:
