I know i should just replace the battery and be done with it, but this is the second time it's happened. I don't want to be in the same situation this time next year.

Default 2005 F-150 won't start sgain

I bought a used 2005 F-150 and the truck was running good for a couple of months. Then one morning it wouldn't start. Replaced battery and alternator and the truck worked for a couple of weeks and now it won't start again. Any one have any ideas on what I can try. Thank you

I would unplug the radio first and see if that's it!

Check for a bad or loose ground wire.
