Electrical issue please help!!
This is in my 2006 f350 4dr 8ft bed single axle, 6.0 diesel with sunroof (could be factor).... so this has happened twiçe now, I have lost ALL power after cutting the "truck off" like you would normally. The problem begins at this point, there is no power electrically. I mean no power at all, no ignition, no interior lights, no power to ANYTHING......
THIS IN ITS SELF IS STRANGE ......... BUT ...... The fix is where I'm just at a loss, to fix a complete power outage situation and return to complete normal operation is to simply open and shut the passenger front door.
PLEASE HELP WHEN YOUR DONE LAUGHING ,!! Thanks in advance

bad connector at battery.. or battery cables... both positive or negative ... rusted ground connection at body or frame.
bad connection INSIDE of battery (bad battery) had this happen to a motorcycle of mine, 100 miles from home.
the door causes a shock in the truck body..

Another place to look is the retained power accessory circuit in the instrument cluster. Search Circuit Board Medics. The are good people as can help you confirm or eliminate the IC as the problem.

Ok so here's the next phase....
I'm in Va. And it's rained forever here I think!! I've checked the batteries and cleaned the cables and everything is good there. Now yesterday i had the battery light come on, and then went off this morning, I've had no codes pop up, and the batteries are new and show 12-13 volts and the alternator checks out ok. Then I get out of the truck this morning the radio comes on and the dash lights up like its ready to start??? I'm thinking a screwy ground somewhere but not sure.......I hate electrical gremlins!!
