Driving yesterday suddenly my whole dash and radio when out, however the car didn't stall. Made it home and jumped it no problem. Started out again it died while I was driving. Battery is only 6 months old. Had the battery checked and came back as good but recharge, so I had it charged. Put it back in and started right up, turned it off and tried again but it was dead. Lights and other things work no problem. I did check the cables. Thoughts of a cause? Thanks.

 

There are some conflicting bits of info you are providing.
What we need to know is ;
with the headlights on and trying to start the vehicle, what happens and what do the lights do?
If the lights go dim or out , the battery is suspect or the starter is pulling too much current. Since it starts with a charge that would eliminate the starter.
There is a good possibility the alternator is out to lunch. If that is the case you could do the following, get a replacement alt from a local auto store (they don't always work) or get one from a Ford parts dept (they usually work ) or have a local starter/alt shop rebuild your alt and put it right back on. Make sure the ground from the battery to the engine/sheet metal is clean and good . Without some type of meter it is almost impossible to be sure the alt is defective, did the charge lite come on? If a voltmeter was available you should read at least 13 volts at the battery with the headlights on and the engine running if the alt is working properly.
