02 SD 7.3 no start

When I turn on the key the dash lights and indicator lights flash on & off.
speedo needle & tach needle swing min to max.
when you try and start it just raddles.
Anyone have any suggestions?

No, I did not check the batteries.

Here is a little more info.
On Sun (4/22). I drove the truck and it started an ran fine. While driving home
I noticed that the tach & speedo were on '0', the "abs light was on, all other
gauges were '0'. Once I turned off the ignition the above started.

looks like electrical problem, make sure you battery clamps are not coroded, or you might have fried PCM, do you have Tuner or any aftermarket parts?
