temporary total electrical failure residentail lights out vehicle disabled everything came back on after a short time
My best frind at the time and I were returning to his house in the NW area of Winter Haven, FL, from Night classes at Ridge VoTec and in a residential area my pick-up truck suddenly quit just like a total electrical failure (no battery, lights ign. etc) and the Street lights above and houses all around went out too. I thought it was an EMP, ((male name deleted)) (my friend) didn't have any idea, so we stood there talking in the dark waiting to see what happened next, someone either from a house or walking by stopped and talked with up, after about a half hour everything lit back up, and my truck restarted and worked as if nothing had happened at all. We were finishing up a two year course in HD Truck & Bis mechanics, so we had a pretty good handle on how a vehicle worked and how to repair it, neither of us found any fault other than no power to the system, and we restarted without a jump or push starting it.
