A catastrophic failure such as this is going to be battery related. Check the battery cable connections at both ends. Make sure everything is clean and tight. Remove the battery and have it load tested. Depending on what kind of charger you have it might not charge a very dead battery. Put Vaseline on the battery cable connections at the battery to prevent corrosion in the future. Hope that helps! Jim
