No electrical power

Hi, I have a 1985 F350 w/6.9 diesel. The truck shut off on me the other day. Seems there is no power to the truck. No headlights...nothing. Batteries are good. I don't know whats wrong. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Ricky

Well, if this was an 87 Ranger I would tell you to check fuse link E which powers the ignition switch & headlight fuses. If you dont get an answer from one of the other guys, go here www.helminc.com & buy the Ford "Eletrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual" best 20 bucks you will spend when it comes to troublshooting electrical problems. It will tell you which fuse link to check.

your ignition switch may have gone bad or youve lost a ground
