In case you skipped past earlier posts, it may be a dead battery.

My Motorcraft battery failed suddenly. Others have experienced the same. You may have been bitten. If you had the stock battery in a 2005 - bingo...

I don't know, it could be something simple like a dead battery. Don't think anyone has suggested that, but that is just my guess.

I'm going out on a limb here and I'll say it could be a dead battery. Just a guess

Guys, Gals.. All good suggestions but what about something as simple as a dead battery

Go over to Sears and get yourself a Platinum P2.

(true story)

Well, I walked in the store one day. When I started the truck to go to the store it was fine.

I came out from the store and nothing worked on my truck. I tried and tried to jump start it, but nothing worked. Not even a brand new Chevy taho. (chevy never work anyway) Nor did the S-10, or the Ford Thunderbird.

I had to get pulled home by a dodge of all things.

I replaced the battery and all was fine.

Maybe you should check the battery first?
