Truck not starting HELP

Turn the key, enging turning but absolutely no ignition. Battery terminals are not corroded. Truck ran fine all morning. Have no idea what the problem could be

Check the little fuel pump shut off box... owners manual will tell you where it is and how to reset it. I had the same thing happen a few days ago.

lol, told ya. Funny how many people get stumped by that little contraption.

I was, for a few minutes, until I remembered what one of my auto class instructors said... on a lot of Fords, there's a little inertia switch... if it won't start, check and reset that switch before doing anything else.
