Hey everyone, just trying to figure out what might have happened so I can walk back to the truck and fix it.

I started up my truck as normal, drove two blocks, hit a speed bump at (not going fast), and suddenly the whole truck shut down. I still have battery power, radio and such, but it won't turn over or try at all.

I figure that a wire might be loose or something, but don't know where it could be. Any suggestions?

p.s. fluid levels are all fine.

Remove, clean, and tighten your battery terminals. First step.

Not working. It might be one of te fuses connected to the positive terminal.

Here is the busted piece:

could this one little piece take down the whole truck?

YUP, that a big one!

Thats the main fuse for the electrical system. I dont know how a bumo could have taken it out, unless maybe the battery isnt tied down. Get a new one for like 12 bucks, problem should be solved

Looks like a fusible link.

Thanks everyone. We'll see if it works once I replace it. I went to the closest autoparts store and they did not have it. I'll have to find a ride to the dealership in the morning.

Alright, replaced the Fusible-Link today. Cost 21 dollars from the dealership and the engine roared back to life. Kind of strange how one little 1/8 inch piece of metal on the battery could take down the whole beast. Fastened the battery down a bit better invade the wobbling caused the issue.

I'd take a brush to the terminals and lugs, they look a little corroded.
Glad you got it figured out.

Smear some vaseline on those terminals, after you remove and clean them.

Did you have the positive terminal protector on? I had a Ranger that conked out when I went over a bump and due to the fact that the unprotected terminal hit the hood, and the battery being loose, killed everything.

Glad you got it figured out.

A little? :laugh:

at the very least do what ToddG has said, but I'll tell you the factory clamp that goes around the + post is a big piece of crap. If you go back to your local parts place have a look at the terminals they have for sale (big and beefy) I found it alot better than the paper thin nissan ones that dont tighten worth a dam and cause alot of corrision. After I picked up the new terminal the corrision has stoped. The piece you just bought, you can take the terminal off (8 or 10 mm) and swap it out, just a little piece of advice.

I meant a wire brush (not a hair brush or tooth brush) just so there is no confusion.
Funny when you read your posts again what you notice.
