Major Electrical issue!! HELP

Thanks for viewing. Ok Jump in the truck this morning . drop off the trailer, pick up hay, stop and get a soda. Jump back in and nothing. No lights, no bells No nothing. Sat for a minute and the pats would come up but no starter, no radio. Finally it would click om start, like a bad solenoid, but no turning starter.
Drag it home. Through it on the charger just to make sure i was working with a full battery. Changed the Pos Batt terminal, and still no start. I now have a relay that is chattering and the Interior lights and the engine bay light blinks.
Again thanks for looking

That's what you get for stopping for a soda then you would not have to have a tow.. hi hi.
.
Don't stop there.
There is a neg post, the rest of the cables and the other ends/connections etc..
There is a start relay and it's cable to the starter.
The starter could be jambed etc.
The battery could have an open intercell connector etc.
If there is no or little power anywhere the battery source of power is nearly open circuited. Said another way, to high a voltage drop.
Happens to the best of em at anytime.
Good luck.

I would throw a meter on it and see what your voltage is WITHOUT the charger hooked up. Then try cranking it over and see what your voltage falls down too
