i have a 2006 f-150 xlt, i was driving it today and it started making a 5x5 beeping noise shortly after i started it up. i read on a few forums that that beeping is a warning about the passenger airbag sensor or something. anyways it went away and kept driving for 5 minutes or so when suddenly the dash went out and all the gauges dropped but i was still able to drive fine. a minute later the engine just died and i managed to pull over to the side of the road. now nothing works when i turn the key, not even a light, its just a dead weight, the remote locking doesnt even work. the only sign of life is a LED from my phone charger that is plugged into the outlet. the battery is only 2 months old so its not that.

any ideas?

cheers

 

Your battery is dead, probably because the charging system isn't working. Charge the battery fully and you'll have 20-50 miles of driving before it's dead again. Get the charging system evaluated by someone who understands it (it's computer controlled).

 

My 06 F150 XLT did all kind of weird electrical stuff when the alternator went out a left me on the side of the road.
