this truck has been running good. i went to start it first thing the next morning, i turned the key and it fired once or twice but did not start, i turned the key again and nothing happened, no juice, no lights, no radio, no heater fan, nothing. the battery has a charge and i cleaned the clamps and posts but still nothing. what would cause this complete failure?

i may donate.
