I went in my truck today and when I tried to start it, nothing happens. No lights, no radio, nothing at all. I opened the hood and looked at the battery and it's fine. I played with the connection to my alarm and it made a spark and everything.
When I got back in the truck and turned the ignition on, I had lights, fan, radio, everything! But when I tried to start it, everything turned off. No lights, no fan, no radio, not even the door locks.
I went under the hood again and checked the cables, took them off and back on, etc. I went back in the truck and again, when I turned the ignition "on", I had plenty of current going everywhere and when I tried the starter, everything turned off again! not any power anywhere except may be the alarm which is wired directly to the battery....
What could be wrong? Is there some sort of breaker that's getting tripped? why would the starter circuit suddenly fail completely?
