Truck died and would not crank. I tried boosting, but still not enough to crank. we added an car with cables to the ones already on it. after a while we tried, it turned, but would not crank enough to start. we moved cables and waited more. now there is no power at all getting to anything, what could I have shorted out?
Hi you are saying no power at all then check the main fuse in fuse box under the hood mostly it's 100 amp fuse
Your starter may be the problem. When a starter goes bad, it will not turn. Check all the cables from the battery to the starter to see if nothing shorted out and burned.

Now is the time to diagnose it, no one can diagnose a no start problem on a vehicle that runs, Now someone can easily put an OBDII scan tool on it and in about 5 min know what is keeping it from running, Now Im not talking about a $20 code reader Im talkin about a professional OBDII bidirectional scan tool with a scan tool a qualified tech can watch the crank sensor and cam sensor he can monitor fuel pressure with a fuel pressure guage he can fix it much cheaper than anyone can by just changing parts from a friends previous experiences. Sorry this is the easiest least expensive way
Thatttttt's alternatorrrrr.
Your alternator charges your battery. No alternator, no battery charge.

You will have to go to the old way of finding out where to start locating the problemm. Gas supply or ignition ( spark) problem. What was missing when it quit.? Gas or spark or water.

check to see if there is white color in the oil it might be water getting into ur oil if thats the case it might be head gasket leak ..the car will over heat the computer will shut the engine down,,good luck ,,Joe
SOURCE: trk died not power to fuel pump and pump is only 3
is it getting spark? spray a little starting or carberator fluid in the carb and try to start if it starts then it's a fuel problem if not then it's a spark problem.if it's a fuel then check the fuel filter
Testimonial: "Thank You very much tried the starter fluid already and it started will try the fuel filter again. Castle Wixard"
