Power problem

Hi, I was driving to pick up super today and my radio quit, I also realized that my alt guage read 0, interior lights and power windows woulden't work, dash lights were dimmed and the ABS light came on and started blinking. I turned it off and restarted it and it was hard to start and nothing worked still and the ABS light was flashing.

I made it home and let it sit for a hour then wen't out to see if there was anything easy to see. Everything looked good so I tried to start it.. it was fine except thr dash lights seamed a little dim, but everthing worked. so i wen't to turn the heater fan on and boom it all happened again.

the kicker is that this was 20 min after i picked my truck up from ford. They replaced the multifunction switch and the window assembly in the pasenger door (motor and such) as well as a bunch of fluid services and new ball joints.

any heads up on what this could be befor i take the truck back to them monday?

Steve

sounds like the fuse box, it would be the first place i'd have looked. i'm pretty sure that if all of them go it has to be fuse related. while i'm no electrician, simply a humble matador from spain (i don't even know why i said that) i would be willing to bet my meager earnings of fighting deadly bulls that it is a fuse problem as everything that seems to have gone out are at the fuse box, and a loss of power..... you know, whatever. i'd check there, maybe blew a fuse or have a faulty box.
