Has anyone ever had this problem. I have a 99 F150 w/5.4l. Last night it ran fine to work. This morning it won't even try to turnover not to mention the radio doesn't work now. The lights come on everything else works. Engine just wont start and radio won't play tunes. Friend of mine showed my how to start it by shorting across to post on the starter relay and we think that is what went bad but, why is the radio dead too? Any ideas

 

This may seem like a silly question but did you check your cable connections to the battery and visually inspect the condition of the cables themselves?

Good info for future reference!
