Try replacing you battery. When they go nothign works....I have had that happen to me with my old ranger pick-up. Started just fine, got to my friends house and was going to make a quick beer run, and then nothing.....Replaced the battery and it was fine........

Thanks Josh ill take a look around there.
00TA- Thats the weird thing I just replaced the battery the other day because it had died on me. As far as i can tell Im still getting power from the battery.
Oh well back to work I guess.

my battery stranded me in my camaro once. Some accessories would work but it was very flaky. That was fun.
Never run a 1200W max 2 channel amp off of the OEM battery.

Cars are supposed to run on the alternator...not the battery. 9 times out of 10 the alternator is bad which causes the battery to be drained. Have your alternator checked before replacing the battery again.
