Electrical Problem???

I have a 2004 Ford F150. This morning it would not start but all the lights were going crazy. I called AAA, they came and jumped it and it started but the radio would not work and it sounded like a dead alarm was trying to go off. Got to work and radio came back on but when I killed the truck all the lights started going wacko again. HELP ME!

Most likely - your battery is on it's last leg. The electrical systems in these trucks are very sensitive to low voltage issues. Myself, along with many other F150 owners have posted the same symtoms. 99% chance it is a bad or dying battery.

Agreed - Step 1 is to make sure your battery connections are not corroded. Step 2 is to get a new battery.
