Lost Power
I have an 88 F250 4x4 with a 351W. I had started the engine up and let it run for a bit. It stalled and when I went to start it again I lost power to everything. The batter is fully charged. There is power to the ignition switch, there is power to the EEC relay, but everything is dead. I have no lights, no radio, no nothing. It is dead in the water. All the fuseable likes at the starter really are still intact. This has got me puzzel. What do I need to look for here? Is it common for the ignition switch to go bad on this vehicle? Thank you for you help

Yes it is common for the switch to go bad. BUT it can be easily fixed. The key switch is actually mechanical, no electrical parts. It control's a rod that runs down the steering column to the actual switch. It is just past the dash on top of the column and is about 3" long with 2 nuts holding it on, and lots of wires!!! Check It. On my 88 it was all melted and screwed up.
