I got in my car to start it when i turned on the key it crank for a half a turn then all the power in the car went dead no lights no nothing i tried to jump it and still had no power. Could there be a fuse on the positive wire from the battery. I need help my car is dead and i can't get to work tommorrow

 

Fusible link most likely. There are 2 of them, where the whole car hooks up to the battery, at the starter terminal where the battery cable goes.

My 6 cyl did this and it turned out to be the connections to the battery. Unscrew the connections and clean them (if necessary replace the bolts, they're cheap at a parts place) and then try. This fixed my problem (pretty cheap compared to the new battery I went out and bought to fix it).

Could someone please reply? I'm having this same problem and it's becoming annoying.

 

I got the similar prob.I started the car.As I was turning the key,I heard a click that came from the engine.I attempted to start the car and all the power went dead.No power at all.I was about to shiit in my pants.I was not at home where I could test the prob.
I opened the hood.I rechecked the battery terminal connections,the starter connections,the engine block wire,alternator connections,and fuses.I turned the key and the power was up again.the engine started and was really happy. I was really about to sheet in my pants,but I was really happy that I didn't.

 

FOUND THE PROPLEM it was the positive wire at the starter the nut wasn't tight see i guess i was freaking for nothing. and about the 5.0 thing today i rembered why i don't want one after i smoked one on the way to work.
