Any ideas on this electrical problem.
After cranking the car  twice last night  for about 30 seconds each 
time, attempting to start, the solenoid now just clicks and as it 
clicks  all the electrics go out.  The gas gauage goes to empty,the 
headlights go off and there isnt any power anywhere.   This started last 
winter,I had the starter rebuilt and installed a new solenoid.  After 
installing these two items the problem would  occassionally happened,but 
eventfully the car would again turn over and start.  
Today I charged the battery  for about 6 hours,it hasnt helped the 
problem.  With the key on,when you hit the starter button,a click of the 
solenoid and everything is dead.  
The shut off switch in the truck is out of the circuit as I am waiting 
for a new one.

Any ideas or suggestions.
