truck died abruptly

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).
