Wont start
I have a 2008 f250 with 5.4v8. The truck starts intermittently. Put key in turn if no dash lights it doesnt even crank or hear a click. If u put key in and turn and dash lights up to starts and runs. U can watch the different lighta (insturment cluster) light up independently like a xmas tree. When truck doesnt start if u disconect battery when touching power wire to batt. Post truck lights will flick on/off if u tap cables to batt and leave on. Lights flicker on/off and then stay off. (Dont know why shouldnt flicker at all) after disconnecting and reconnecting battery truck will or will not start still depends on if dash lights come on before cranking.i replaced battery,starter,altinator, all the ground cable connections and wire cleaned. I havent replaced the power side but are clean.

I'd check and double check all of the battery connections and grounds. Pull the cables off the battery, clean and grease them, and tighten back up. If that doesn't work, I had a bad battery cable one time that would cause intermittent issues.
