We got 10 inches here in Nebraska and I drove all day yesterday fine , this morning I when's to start my truck and it started then put it into reverse and it died , wouldn't turn over . Called a friend for a jump , still didnt start ! What's going on ? I drive a 89 f150 4x4

 

Need more information. Does it crank? If not then bad battery or connection.

 

We it cranked for a little bit then just went dead . Just baught a new battery about 2 months ago . I am gonna mess with it today

 

Fixed it ! Took the radio out and it started right up

 

2 Questions
1. What did the radio have to do with it not starting?
2. What made you decide to pull the radio out as part of your diagnoising?

 

I don't know if the radio just zapped my battery or what ? And before I got a new battery I would leave my radio on when the car was off and listen to it for 5 min and the car would be dead . So I thought I might just disconnect the radio and see if it had anything to do with it .

It could be something different i don't know , it's been starting fine since

 

yeah you have a short on your radio then.
