    I got ready to go pick up a load a couple of weeks ago and my truck just clicked and lost power to everything. Let it sit a minute and same thing. I could hear the click down by the starter, nothing was loose, but I took all the cables and wires off and cleaned them up with a die grinder and she fired right up. it had never even thought about doing that before.
     
    Trucker327 Thanks this.

    They dont put dielectric grease in most solenoids or relays any more so the wipers inside them arc and corrode until they lose continuity, even though they do mechanically work.
