Default 2018 wouldn't start

I took my truck into town (50-60 kilometers), I drove up to a business, & locked the doors & went inside.
Came out 15-20 minutes later, & my Key Fob seemed like it was unresponsive, & wouldn't unlock doors.
I opened the door with the key, & tried to start, & there was no power anywhere in the cab.
Tried to hook a set of booster cables, following the instructions to Jump start in the owners manual. Still no power to vehicle.
I ended up disconnecting the negative terminal from the battery for a minute or 2, & re-connected it, & it starts.

What would cause this? I recently washed the truck, & had the tailgate down. Could water have shorted out in the rear back-up camera, because I also noticed that I had no rear view camera, for a short time after I was able to get it running.

I called a Ford dealer to see if they could pull any codes, but they weren't able to get me in today. Haven't had any problems since.

Has anyone else had a similar (No Start) experience?
