Default Truck keeps dying

So my ford has been running great lately. It hasnt stalled since i got my new battery and alternator about 7 months ago. Today I was on my way home from work when i stopped to check the mail. When i went to turn the truck back on, it had completely died. Not even a crank. This has never happened to me before so I have no ideo where to start. My battery terminals are clean and I cleaned the starter connections right after i got my new battery

Default Re: Truck keeps dying

Interior lights come on? Check the other end of the battery cables. They can corrode too. If you are getting power everywhere but it won't crank, it could be the key switch. They wear out especially if you have a lot of keys on your keyring.
