Electrical problem?
I have a 93 F 150, 302.
It's dead again, no lights, nothing. A month ago, it died and the negative cable was bad, so I changed it. Battery tested good. That same day, the ignition coil went out, so I replaced it, and no problems until today.
I checked the battery and the negative cable was loose, but the screw was all but eaten away. I know just enough about cars to get myself in trouble, so should I just get a new battery or does this indicate a different problem?
Thanks

The ignition coil I would wonder about, how do you know it was bad, they are very reliable unless somebody bypasses the resistor going to the coil and ran it that way.
By the way, is it dead now?
