Greetings, Newbie here. I have a 1987 Ford F250 with the 460. This morning when I went to drive the truck, it started right up and died, then I had absolutely no juice. The battery has plenty of charge - I checked that. I can't get anything else to work. No lights, no radio, no ignition.
Where do I start troubleshooting this?
Thanks. Brett
snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com (Brett) started a controversy when he said in news: snipped-for-privacy@posting.google.com:
Check the connections at the starter solenoid. Could also be the solenoid.
I would also check your ground from the battery to the block. Make sure connections are clean and tight.
Check both battery connections, battery connection to solenoid and solenoid. Everyone else already said these things, but they bare repeating. Problem sounds like the starter just isn't being told to do it's thing. But it could be something else also, even the starter.

did this once without the vehicle out of gear. started real well. had to chase it down quick before it made the bowling alley a drive thru.
