ok so long story short i got new quarter panels to replace the old rusty ones eveything looks great after i hooked up my battery i think i might have shorted it but my trickle charge is showing half charge on my 5 year old battery

i dont have a spare battery to try otherwise i wouldev done that i tried jumping no luck BUT the truck was showing it could use the power

now its been on the trickle charge all night and now i think a fuse blew or something but im not sure which fuse it could be or what could have disconected please help normally i would search for this myself but after non stop issue after issue im tired of searching and trying to fix it ya know?

thankyou in advance and im new to ford just so you know

 

Do all gauges and accessories work? If not its a bad battery. Are the wires hooked up properly to the battery and starter?

 

from whati can see the accessories were working last night it gave me a few clicks and it looks like everything is hooked up properly nothing seems to be missing and now there is no response from any accesories or guages

 

It's your battery. It's gone. Not enough juice to power the starter or accesories.

 

X2 5 years is a bit old for a battery. Have it tested to be sure. Then test the starting and charging system. When one part goes it strains the others so all parts should be checked. And always pull, check, clean, and re-tighten all cables at both ends.

 

That's about how long they last is 4-5 years. Even fit the expensive ones
