another V-10 won't start

Took the battery out to clean the terminals and the pan. Hosed off the pan and when I put the battery back in and tried to start, it it just clicked and wouldn't turn over. Now here's the wierd part, the interior light keeps flashing on and off and I hear major rapid clicking noises from the area behind the headlight switch. What is goin on?

sprayed the electrical connectors around the battery pan with contact cleaner and it cranked right up!

I wouldn't take starting as a sign to stop working on it.

I'd start checking over everything and making sure everything is clean and tight.

You may have water sitting in other connections. Make sure everything is dry. Like Art said. Don't stop now.

Does the headlight relay live on the headlight switch on this model. My older trucks did; and the complete switch had to be replaced.
