Just because you charged the battery it doesn't mean it is any good. Modern sealed batteries fail; just as you described, fine one moment and then nothing, they go open internally.
You would need to use a meter or test light to find out what exactly is dead. It could be a short in the fuse box, or a bad connection in the harness, or at the battery or starter. You may need a repair book or shop manual to get the wiring diagrams. If nothing on the truck works, you would start at the battery cables and work back to the key switch.
Hi it is possible that you Alternator is faulty,if you have access to a VoltMeter ,check the battery voltage in the morning before you try to start it you should have around 12.7 volts for a charged battery if not fully charge your battery again and check the voltage with your car running you should have around 14 volts with the engine reving at 1500 revs.ifyou get around 12 volts then your lights are taking more power from the battery than the Alternator can replace.You could also get your local garage to Drop Test your battery to see if any of the Cells are faulty
I've seen it happen many times on the older Caravans, if you hit a really deep puddle, the splash can knock the accessory drive belt off of its pulleys. You can just gently pry the belt back on, consult a service manual for detailed installation directions.
You haven't removed power steering belt right? The power steering belt it's the same for the alternator and the oil pump, if that belt is burst then you are gonna have your battery light lit and your oil pump won't work so it's gona detect low oil pressure and your oil light will lit too.
Make sure that you don't have a missing belt, cause if you do and you keep runnig the car, the battery will discharge and the engine will be damaged.
If the belt is ok, if the power steering is getting stucked then the belt may be getting stucked too and that's gonna cause the same troubles. If that's happening it's gonna continue doing it until the belt cracks or the power steering pulley blows.
