Possible problem from brake fluid sensor
The engine will start for a couple of seconds ,the guages are going crazy, lights on and off I have never seen before. Even a CD pooped out of the radio I never knew was there. I had just changed the brake line. And after bleeding the air I ran low on fluid but started it and everything went wacky.
I bought more fluid and the brake light went out and it seemed fine for five minutes and a short drive around the farm. But it came back.

Gotta check for any codes thrown... Including ABS codes ... But many have had water/ corrosion in plugs under the truck, causing erratic behavior... I took any plug I could find under truck and filled with dielectric grease and the trailer plugs also ...

Could it be that I never did a proper job bleeding the whole system. When I found the rusted blow out, I pulled of the left rear wheel and discovered a broken leaf spring.. after all of that I only bleed that bleeder and felt I had good pressure on the petal. Good enough to feed the cows, so I thought...

Most of Colorado uses Magnesium Chloride, not straight up Sodium Chloride. The MgCl can be harsh but nothing like NaCl.
