Electricty hates my truck

I've had several similar but different incidents that seem just just fix themselves before i get figure it out.

Right now the truck isn't cranking, voltmeter wired to ACC shows nothing, stereo doesn't come on, It doesn't even try to crank its like I have no battery, the little battery icon on the dash DOES come on though... Headlights also work,

Anyone have an idea as to whats going on? Ive checked all the fuses and checked/cleaned up the battery connections

Tracked it down to the 80A "starter" fuse under the hood, Which also cuts power to almost everything else. the wires are bolted onto the fuse and one of the bolts came loose causing my truck to intermittently have no power.

Edit: Maybe I have a bad way of asking questions but I hardly ever get any help or comments on this forum. nobody likes me for some reason

I think maybe searching for others issues and maybe some troubleshooting yourself and letting us know what you have already checked might yield more results in the way of answers from alot of people.

Maybe some better thread titles as well might help.
