    Is there a parts store close to you and can scan codes? This will tell you what’s wrong for free.

    Even purchasing a code scanner is always a good investment.

    I believe a bad battery can cause this.

    If you're still having this issue. Start with checking you batt cables, if they are good, remove the neg cable for 30 min or so. Put it back on and start the truck.

    I had a similar issue like this and it was a loose cable. Just a thought hope you get it sorted though.

    Mine has done the same thing. Educated guess is bad battery or a loose connection coming off the battery. If the connection even comes loose for a second while the truck is running, it can throw some crazy blinking lights and codes at you. First time it happened to me was when I was in an automatic car wash, and I immediately thought something shorted out. I turned the key off then started it back up and everything was fine. Got home and on a whim I threw my charger on my battery, and it indicated I was down to 55% charge. Charged it up full and its been fine since. I think I have a bad cell on the battery, but have been throwing it on the charger once a week to keep it maintained. Gonna eventually have to fork out the dough for a new battery though.

    I had 3 dash lights light up on mine. Sometimes they were blinking. Took to dealership. A squirrel had gotten in engine compartment and chewed through the main wiring harness on driver side that goes back into the dash. Damn thing went through the plastic housing and chewed through some of the wires. Not a cheap fix. Have them check your wiring.
