Random no start?
2016 f250 xlt 6.2
I am new to the 6.2s and I was getting gas today and went to start the engine, nothing. The temp symbol came on, and the service advanctrac, starting system fault and a few other warnings. Tried and tried and got nothing. I finally opened the door and shut it, and it started. Once it started the outside temp read 50 degrees. This has happened 3 times. I'm not sure if I messed with something when I installed my sound system or not.

Do a search for “will not start tons of error messages”. It is a well known issue caused when you release the parking brake and it jostles the electrical connector that is attached to the parking brake bracket.
The solution is to make sure the connector is firmly closed, detach it from the parking brake bracket and suspend it to the wire bundle above with wire ties. As a precaution do not let your parking brake slam on release.
