94 electrical?
Alright so yesterday I moved my truck to the end of my driveway to get my trash cans on the street everything fine move it back up turn it off and leave when I got back from fishing I get in my truck to go to the store and the damn thing won't even turn over... idk what it is my trucks volt meter was good when I first moved it now it's at like less than a third
at first I thought it was my battery so I hook it up to the charger for a good two hours and tried again and now i can't even hear a buzz or anything when I try to turn it over
I checked my connections
checked my battery with a volt meter I tried everything I can think right now
I'm out of ideas other than the starter or the voltage regulator
p.s. the battery isn't even a 2 months old
any ideas on things it could be and how to check where my connection could be messed up would be greatly appreciated... thanks for reading

When you go to start it does it engage the starter for a split second and then nothing? And if you wiggle the cables it will do the same thing?
If thats the case, take the cables off the battery and then take the connectors off the cable. clean the ends of the wires and then clean where the cables sit on the connectors. And of course clean the battery terminals while you're at it. Be sure to do both positive and negative connectors

Will it start with a jump? Does the key feel right, engaging all the way? Check connections at the solenoid and starter. Don't rule out a bad battery off the shelf. Check the voltage of the battery while you some one tries to crank. Shouldn't go below 11v. Try bypassing the solenoid.

we tried cross jumping it last night and it started to turn over for a split second then my battery just went flat dead so today were gonna recharge and try to jump again after it stops raining and if it does start I'll know that it's my battery and then I'll have to find out what drained it

Read my post from yesterday. Your problem is literally exactly like mine. You have to take a wire brush to everything that makes contact, and then tighten it all down.
