My Ute had a flat battery so I was receiving a jump start from another vehicle. My Ute started fine on the first kick.
While the jumper leads were still attached, I was pumping up my tires with a pump running from my battery. After five or so minutes of my Ute running I removed the jumper leads and the car was still running fine. I them connected the pump to inflate another tire and as I turned the pump on the engine stopped and now will not start. I have checked that the fuses are all fine and am now looking for answers what happened.

Does the car have good electrical power? Are the headlights nice and bright?

Here is a guide to confirm the battery condition:
