1998 Sonoma No Electrical at all...

Nothing works...no dash lights, no headlights...Nothing...Was backing out of the driveway and it just quit.

Any Ideas before I get it towed and pay and arm and a leg?

THANKS!

you say nothing works, does horn work? also check fuses alll, everything is fused. then check battery connections and battery to make sure battery didnt explode or short out, most likely the problem with as cold as it has been in the northern part of the country, if battery froze same may have happened

I put a new battery in it and connections were tight...Nothing worked at all...didn't check the horn but had it towed to the service station yesterday. They didn't start work yet so any heads up so I know they don't fix something that isn't broke and charge me an arm and a leg would be appreciated....THANKS!

I wish I would have seen this post yesterday. Your problem is probably the fusible link between the battery and the battery distribution block.

Does anything work on this truck?

Radio? Starter?
