Help - truck won't start. No power at all

[Motorhead X]

Went to start her up and there is all of a sudden no power at all. Lights won't turn on, nothing. I'm stranded at the car wash. Any suggestions. It started ok 20 minutes ago. Battery is hooked up tight.

every time that happens to me, it's corrosion between the cables and the terminals.  I would just pop them off and clean with some steel wool and good to go again.

That was it! I owe you big time Pete. Pizza and beer someday somewhere.

That's why I have a battery terminal cleaner in the glove box of all of my vehicles

Sure seems to be running better too.

Although I did just put some of that BG 44k stuff in the tank.

 

All I had to work with were some pliers, but a few scratches did the trick. Battery terminal cleaner is a great idea.
