1999 Expedition - At first it just wouldn't crank, just give the clicking starter solenoid sound. Alright, battery needs to be charged right - nope, I put it on the charger and its fine. I pulled the terminals and cleaned them, turn the key and the same thing. However, now I notice that after I turn the key, get the clicking sound, and then release they key the guages and lights are going crazy like they are possessed. The lights are flickering on and off randomly and the gauge needles are going back and forth like its trying to perform some type of check but failing. I disconnect the battery and try again - same thing. I watch it for awhile(5 mins) and then the gauges calm down and the lights stop blinking so I try to start it and it starts right up. Good - but then I turn it off and it won't start again - nothing and now when I turn it off and pull the key OUT I have some relay under the dash clicking and I have to pull the neg. battery cable to get it to stop. Anyone have ANY idea what is going on?
