Home and Auto Need help/advise on possible dead battery. - Page 2

Background: my son has a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup. Brand new battery installed last month. He left the dome light on last night and now his truck won't start. I tried to jump start it with my 2007 Chrysler 300. Wouldn't even try to turn over. It is extremely cold right now at 11 degrees. The kicker is his headlights work and radio also. Could it be something besides the battery?

all good things happen to those who wait....
