Ford: 98 F150 dies, eletrical, starter system


Question
While driving, the engine dies as if the key was turned off.  I still have lights, radio, but no cranking over and no gauge reset when the key goes back to ON.  No codes or CEL.  After about 10-15 min, the gauges reset and it starts.

Answer
Hi,

This definetly is a electrical problem you have. To me it sounds like a loose connection or a coroaded terminal at the battery or starter system.This system sends power to the different eletrical/fuel/ignition system. This is a very involved question, you should take it to your local ford dealer.
Thanks
