Lost all electrical power

F150/'97/4x4

Truck start and ran fine. Placed key in ignition, no electrical gauges nor power to doors/windows. Turn key over still no power.

Battery is brand new.

When inserting the key, couple things can happen:
1. If you wiggle the key, at times, the power comes back on to the truck (door ajar beeps (interior light comes on), but when you turn the key over, it just clicks once and all power is gone.

2. Place key into the ignition and sometimes you can hear a clicking noise sounding like it is coming from the fuse box under the dashboard.

3. Key in ignition and turn, there is no power at all to the truck.

The key, at times, has a hard time unlocking the ignition.

Is there a fuse blown somewhere? Or is the key too worn out? Can't figure what is wrong.

Thank you for any information

More appropriate for ...

Rather than ...
2009+ F150 - Discuss the 2009, 2010 and new 2011 Ford F150
That being said ... Things to check (besides a worn ignition switch) ...
  • battery cable and/or post corrison.
  • starter cable.
  • alternator.
  • FEAD belt.
    etc., etc., etc..
