1994 Electrical issue
Drove to Walmart everything is fine, come out of WM start truck - ABS light is on, No radio, Heater, pwr windows and turn signals. Dark and cold tonight so going to start tomorrow. Tips/Ideas on where to start looking? It's F250 XLT automatic 4WD.

Check your ignition switch
They like to separate where the pot metal meets the plastic, and then they do not always work correctly
Next time it happens, try wiggling the key around slightly, see if the radio and heater etc. come back on
Fun stuff

I would go with OEM Ford, but they were the ones that started fires
The new ones were supposed to have that problem fixed (after the big recall in / around 1995)
Did you wiggle the switch around and have the problem go away?

Well, you could say I wiggled the switch around a bit. I started the truck up and everything was all right, back to normal, no wiggling involved. Still thinking I need to replace switch. Going to call dealer today. After some thought, remembered I replaced the ignition tumbler and key, not the ignition switch. So it's likely the original switch. I've owned truck 22 years.
