my truck wont start unless i disconnect battery cables any reason why?
the problems started when it was raining out and i got sideways around a corner.The next morning i was going down a hill and the truck just shut off I pulled over and it stated right up again. Well the next day i tried to stat it and it wouldn't start so i disconnected cables and it started right up. I dont know if it has something to do with my air bag or abs those two lights would just blink now the truck wont start and there is no instrument lights
I can hear the fuel pump kick on

I would almost think that something in the computer is messed up, and it resets it's self when you dis-connect the battery.
I don't think that going sideways in a corner was the cause, but you probably got water on the electronics somewhere.
I'd look at, and around the fuse box, and where ever the computer is on your car, if either is damp at all try drying them off with a hair dryer on the lowest setting, preferably no heat... or a small fan
if that doesn't work see if an auto wreck will let you try one of their good used parts. (you'll probably have to buy the worker a beer or 2)
good luck
