Default My truck turns off while driving
So I have a 2003 F150 4.2L V6 truck, as I drive around in the truck it suddenly turns off completely, all power to it. When I try the ignition to turn it back on it doesn't do anything as if the battery is dead, so i try push start it and nothing, so I open the hood and check the battery all cables are tightly on. So I go back to the ignition and as I turn it over it suddenly work fine. I have tried driving it around and it keeps turning off more frequently, any suggestions on what it could be?

Sounds like an ignition switch

Same thing happened to me on a 97 dodge I had.. I replaced the battery and battery ends and never had another issue.. Had a shop test my battery and they said it was fine but my dad sent me to get a battery and battery ends and It was fine
